Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Celestial Navigation

Shall I draw you a map
or will you allow the stars to guide you?
Intrepid explorer,
do not fear 
Though you head for depths unknown
the waters are warm 
and the storms are few
Cast off your vessel
Float like driftwood on the waves
The treasure you seek
is already in your hands.
