What the Wise Elder Said (poem)
What the Wise Elder Said
My work
is to help keep the world
steady in its course,
the familiar figure at the wheel
holding the helm steady past the
storm racked shore.
You know the image:
The world under assault,
nameless forces,
their origin or intent
unknown,
and one firm hand.
Indeed, at times we are like bits of cork
bobbing on the current,
destiny obscure.
Then we reflect
and know that we are more.
We are a direction,
an entry point:
a portal, a door,
a window to that
other reality,
that place
with love
pouring through.
