clear the decks

May 20, 2018 by Michael Guerin

washed away like a downpour
this dried and dusty self
so long ago outgrown
like an unread book on a shelf
and sitting here lost
in unfettered thoughts
wonder if you’ve felt this too
and what did it cost your soul
to clear away the decks
like some sailing ship at sea
with tides stretched out between
and the miles too many to keep?
