In the drink
Everyone is in the drink
–
laboring to keep their
heads above water;
no piece of solid real
estate
in this vast sea of
illusion
upon which to make a
stand,
gain a foothold – a
perspective, stability, bearings.
Some are swift and fancy
swimmers,
others fat and lightly
floating,
some sink like stones
but,
everyone, everyone, is in
the drink,
paddling about, waiting
for the One
Who walks upon water;
Who surveys the horizon
and sets the course;
Who offers navigation,
buoyancy, consolation;
truth, hope, explanation.
Be kind, o child, and
dubious,
studious and soft-spoken;
be clear-headed,
one-pointed, alert.
O child of God, everyone
is in the drink
until they drown in the
Ocean of Love.
