Poetry
AGING WEATHERED DRIFTWOOD
Across the foggy bay
Ancient lighthouse beckons
Through gale and harbor mist
Deathly still
Borrowed passage unknown
Treacherous rocked strewn current
Majestic presence looming
Just beyond the sacred reef
I flow
Aging weathered driftwood
Flotsam and jetsam
Tidal moonlit ebb
Reviewing my life’s story
Starry evenings wake
Boiling it all down
To bite sized metaphors
Select precious moments
Those that were worth a damn
My journey has been long
Self imposed cilice
Finally reaching the trade winds
No room for armchair critics
Misguided soothsayers
This trip I must make alone
Razors edge of life and death
It’s about true impact upon others
Positive contribution
Ionized exhortation
Constructing self esteem
Kind hearted empowerment
Depths of a brilliant smile
Cheerful eyes that penetrate
A lasting legacy of love
On the fringe is where I shall stay
Until my purpose here is served
