The boat

It was a boat
That floated on a sea
A sea of peace and true tranquility
All was calm
As it drifted
Away from the storm
It sounded a single note
Sifting through the water
Time to be
Simply be
To let go of what was
And behold what is
It was on a journey
To find the unknown
It’s sad but true
The unknown
Scares us all
We hold on to what was
Because we all to often
Don’t know what’s to come
It’s like a boat
That floats on the open sea
With no known land in sight to calm our fear
Of the unknown
