Long at Sea - Poem about Life

Long at Sea

I left The Home so long ago
now that I would not recognize my own face.
I constructed the Boat of My Life
and I set out into the open sea
waving to all who knew that
the seas would give me everything I could handle
and everything I could not and yet they waved
and I set out in the open sea
in the Boat of My Life:
built from Soul
crafted from Heart
and with great innocence
I pushed off into the open sea
and have been away from Home so long now
that I would not recognized my own face
but I know that Home-
Home remembers me.
