My sails are set
At least for today
I know my direction
Come what may
Caught in the winds of time
Blowing furiously
My eyes on the distant horizon
Keep me filled with hope
One day soon
Maybe longer
Things will change
There will be welcoming shores
But for now
I catch the wind
Ride the tides
Crest the wave’s swale
Until it’s time
To furl my sails
