The reckless sailor that I am

Have set upon oceans vast

Plugging the holes with people’s lives

“I’ve hoisted the flag of hope.

Can’t let it sink, you see.”

The sail is torn, the mast broken

The rudder has gone asunder

This boat powered only by my longing to share

Navigated by the Grace of my deepest hidden love

This rickety boat held together only by your heart strings

And still I say, “I’ll see you across.”
