Altar






I have no heart
  to offer, anymore
it was lost, there
    on other shores
  where I never should have been.

So away the anchor,
  and on in the storm
  in hopes of my ship wrecking
on something more than my own
dreams, which are far too small;
  like a bird in a thunderstorm
  overpowered by what is:
  becoming what is not.

If my heart should ever return
  I shall leave it no more,
  save on that altar where
  you call your children all to go.





Author notes





I wreck myself in all the wrong places, it seems. Perhaps, by grace, I shall be directed to be wrecked upon a shore where I shall find myself and the rest of what I need rather than upon these lonely islands.

The ocean is a wide and cruel place. I can't wait to be free.
