A Returning Tide (+1)

Revisiting oceans I’ve sailed before,

my eyes now finally see

 

Their currents deeper but softer felt,

all doldrums blowing free


As friends I greet them no longer strange,

once passing in the night

 

With anchors dropping inside my soul

—to harbor this delight

Lifeline

 

Reaching down or

reaching up

 

Arms extended

—hearts to touch
