Seeking Safe Harbor ~ Philip Brent
As I sit outside of this coffee shop
Waiting for my ride to show up
I wonder who, what, where I’ll be
Will it make a difference to me
My future circumstances, surely
But what about the world at large
If I do, it does, what will it be
And what will become of me
While not all ask such questions
Their daily lives enough for them
More than enough in modern days
Simple worries more than suffice
Birth, growth, choice and change
Life, death everyone’s companions
Love, hate and emotions between
Equal life, universe and everything
