The battered boat’s
Tenuous tether
Snapped!
Like a kite line
Caught unaware in a gust.
Suddenly free
Directionless
Trembling at the precipice of each wave
Daunted by the depths below her bow;
An inky blackness of uncertainty all around.
But free,
Holding hopes of future sunlight,
Of calming seas,
And of eyes
To see the beauty of her weathered frame;
Of loving hands
To sand away the roughness
That she might shine again.
