Unordered Tales
To Carol
For Carol
He breathes the breath of life into our infant soul
And with that fledgling zephyr
Our voyage along this mortal coil begins
He is our compass, captain and our guide
Through mirrored ponds of gentle calm
Through angry, raging seas
He never leaves the helm
And when the storm is no more
He hails us stow the sail
And we beach upon that heavenly shore
Somewhere beyond the veil.
For Carol
