He sails the sea, his vessel
set and tuned by his hands
to catch the Spirit,
catch the wind
that bends and bears him
farther out, farther on
than he has ever known.
For this he asked;
for this the wind
has come and blown
and shown him his task:
to scale this sea, then beyond,
strike home.
(written for a close brother, a number of years ago, in a time of spiritual stirring)
