The Inspired Ones

What I feel with this stem of flowers

is the bond of four

who have explored,

left their boats

and swam to shore……

lifeboats came,

all were saved

and once again

bridges raised.

Everything has a season

everything within reason

and then outside

the borders lie

the inspired ones

who reach the edge

and leap with faith

to the new world calling

sail their boats

or row with oars,

whatever way

they do explore.

Across the seas,

the sand,

the hills,

the grass looks green

and they believe

all they ask for

will be received

if they just live

as they know best

and help others

in testing times

progressing ever

with the endeavor

to live with heart

wherever,

whenever

believing always

the light will shine,

the path meanders,

there are resting places

and light-hearted smiles

upon their faces.
