“Washing
Upon the Shore”
cji
5/20/12
Raging
storms and icy rains
ships driving
wildly about
the
tiller – rudder so small
magnificent
the waves tower
day
passes to night to day
thrown
wickedly all about
till
beaten half drowned
floating
on the ships debris
strength
ebbing many drown
giving
into the vacuum death
others –
the few – continue
seeing
the shore – trees first
then
more fully the whole
till
washing upon the shore
reviving
on the Sabbath Day!
