The dream
taken seriously
but never myself
Whose course
is replotted
as ice starts to melt
Life an
eternal
shipwreck of hope
But lifeboats
sit waiting
— where wishes refloat

So true Kurt it is a metaphor of life and its wishes indeed.
Keep that lifeboat firmly tied.
Kurt, that line “eternal shipwreck of hope” stays with me… it’s stark without being dramatic. Then you pivot to lifeboats waiting, and suddenly there’s breath again. That turn is subtle but powerful. Loved that movement, my friend. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
That's my favorite line too. Thanks TR.
Most welcome, Kurt. It's a great line!
