From the Crow’s Nest — Etched in the Halls

I rise above and steady myself.
The Captain charts the course below,
the horizon stretches, the sails draw tight.

Aquarius pours — unending, unspent.
Pisces drifts bound together,
a reminder of the ties that hold us all.

I lift my lanterns,
color and pause and breath,
cast into the night whether seen or not.
I exist as I am, and that is enough.

The ship presses forward,
steady on its way,
each hand shaping the passage in silence.

Etched in the Halls is a legacy of stone and oak.
To it I add breath, risk, and song.
An American song, unfinished and alive.
I have everything on the line.
Still I sing.
​
The moon waits.
The stars answer.
The journey continues.
