People Over Politics, World Over Wealth

~~~~~
May life fill me to the brim,
my sails and yards trimmed
to catch the wind and sail away
long past a year and a day. No
marriage, no pea green boat, simply
pea coat to warm my breast. Help
me face each and every test and
trial. All the spaces I must wait a
while, in order to pick a new direction.
Hope I have read the signs. No
looming waterfall, avalanche, heat,
fire or flood. Climate crisis that shoves
us over the cliff, into the chasm. Spasms
of grief and anger facing sadness,
effacing anger. All no way to deal with
unknown, unforeseen dangers, a
disaster or some stranger we have
yet to trust. Though we know we must.
