Breeze of Possibilities

…my heart finds its wings

I am an empty boat
untethered and drifting
through the willows
and the weeds of life

my mast
overshadowed
by the tall river reeds
lost and lonely
I float, under pale blue skies

but from the distance
I suddenly hear
the songs
of the open sea
I know they are calling to me

waves break
over my boughs
and the winds are wild and free

in these deepest of waters
far from the safety of shore
I feel peace, descend upon me

birds fly
in ever increasing circles
their calls echoing
in the halls of heaven

my sails are suddenly filled
with the breeze of possibilities
and my heart finds its wings

as we venture once more
into the depths unknown
