a ring, be it fight or flight

would think I’m on the ropes tonight

picking petals till it is my turn, my turn

 

you’re strong, so competitive

won’t back down till I finish this

you’re a hunter

I’m no longer prey

 

rediscovering Polaris

sorry, but you can’t come with me

rearranging

and I’m on my way

 

christening with holy water

it is time, the die is cast

and away and away and away

coming sunrise

I’ll be on my way

 

I longed for views of open seas

those battleships remind me

to always leave space for space

 

rediscovering Polaris

beyond guilt and Ursa Major

all along signs were pointing this way

 

reading Deus Gubernator

lift the anchor, check the wind

sail away, and away, and away

knot by knot, we are on our way

 

say, ‘no’, is it a dreamer’s word?

it is now, and it is preferred

to use while plotting

a route to pick up life

 

rediscovering Polaris,

beyond shame and Ursa Major

all along signs

were pointing this way

 

christening with holy water

lift the anchor, check the wind

sail away and away and away

 

Hallelujah, we are on our way
