I'd like to return there To tiptoe between the cracked hulls Gilded with rust as if golden pillars. Our faces reflected In the puddles on the floor Uncharacteristically happy For though we were soaked With despair We were warmed By an exchange of emotion. It's true, Passage of time dulled the shine As honeyed words grew bitter Yet inspiration always returns. The boards can be fixed. Remember, it is never too late To chase dreams. They are difficult to chase, As fireflies on a moonlit night Just follow the tangled line, See where it leads. I admit my eyes Have also wandered the heavens Pondering the outcomes Of a million variants Of choices made. Just as it is never too late To chase dreams, It is never too late to set sail. We may need to mend the sails Perhaps patch the bilge, By tomorrow we could Be letting the water lead us Where we are supposed to be.
