She was just posing for a picture aboard a tuna-sandwich pirate ship in a theme park and yet I see myself there holding on loosely to the wheel not really steering the ship as the wind has blown me in a direction I never intended to go.
I can adjust my sails sure I have in the past, over and over, when the tide was not in my favor but for now I just pause and survey
where do I make land when the port has washed away?
I breathe grip the wheel one last time feel the grain of the wood under my tired hands and finally start to accept that the harder I hold on fighting against the current the more splinters I will get in my palms so I let go unfurl my sails and let the wind move me where it will because I can have an adventure anywhere I go but not if I don't first surrender the one that wasn't mine to keep.

She was just posing for a picture
aboard a tuna-sandwich pirate ship in a theme park and yet I see myself there
holding on loosely to the wheel
not really steering the ship
as the wind has blown me in a direction
I never intended to go.
I can adjust my sails
sure
I have in the past, over and over,
when the tide was not in my favor
but for now I just pause and survey
where do I make land
when the port has washed away?
I breathe
grip the wheel one last time
feel the grain of the wood under my tired hands
and finally start to accept
that the harder I hold on
fighting against the current
the more splinters I will get in my palms
so I let go
unfurl my sails
and let the wind move me where it will
because I can have an adventure anywhere I go
but not if I don't first surrender the one
that wasn't mine to keep.
