I was on board
a ship
the size of a city
when
it set sail
walking the deck
with other men
women
children
cats
and dogs
the ocean breeze
teasing our hair.
I was listening
when
the man said
there is more
going on
than we are
ever going
to get right
and
having taken that
to heart
I now seek
for company
those
who have reached
the same conclusion.
Sailing to that shore
where
certitude ends
and
curiosity begins
I cannot help
but smile
at all
the wonderful things
I have
left behind.
