Fast Waters

through the fast waters

of life, we have sailed

the good life and then some,

I would have to say, but

on no shore did we land

did we remain to long

for fear of being entrenched

in its politics, and onward

we sailed on rough and

calm seas alike and all

the waters look alike

over time even those

the fish and catch was

never the same and never

sold at market for the same price;

still, we knew the day would

arrive, like the arrival of

the moon and stars,

blocking out our sun

on final time.
