Poem

one more revolution completed
another birthday
an ongoing process of ageing
sometimes with grace 
at others with weight on my shoulders

minding the gap
between emotions and reason
tearing at what needs to be
occasionally becoming one with myself
a milestone although I prefer
to think metric
simply because shorter steps
are easier to take to reach
one target or so at the time
many of them unplanned
but the intention keeps me at bay

where the ship can anchor
sails can be set
the rudder is mobile
flares shoot up and down

maps are charted and lost
the compass magnetic whatever it takes
graphs and outlines drawn in pencil
because charcoal resists the rain
although smudges are beautiful
and it takes an eraser 
to change course 
and master the waves
whose tides are present eve
when the surface feels flat

like a cork from a bottle
I bob up and down
float swallow and drift
as a small fleck in the Universe

what matters is the path
from sadness to joy
sorrow to contentment
grief to elation
around in circles of impermanence
perspective growth and 
my lover’s gentle caress
