    in Poems about Spirituality

    I wake to find a scene unkind, on vessel I do stand.
    Adrift at sea; lost, scared and cold; in desperate need of land.

    From whence came I? What purpose here? Which course should I set sail?

  • The Mentor

    • Published: October 2008

    in Change Poems

    I paused to stand and watch a man who had come to the road's divide.
