Poem Title:
Return
Poem:
If you’re tired and weary and losing your
faith you must come to Blackness on sea As
you walk by the shore try to quiet your mind
And hear the wind blow through every tree
Worn down by the big and little things That
make up your history Let the longings that
surface in your battered heart Be carried away
by the sea Feel the sand and the grass and the
rock underfoot Restore your dignity You may
have forgotten yourself along the way But slow
down and soon you will see Let go of the titles,
the chores and the lists It’s enough for today
just to be Allow time for the simple things in life
like a lobster and a pot of tea Find yourself
among friends you don’t know Immersed in
community When you do, if you do, I promise
my friend You will learn what is means to be free
