I am Lost at sea
Adrift in the currents of life
Thrown back and forth
In a small boat with no oars
Wet
Cold
Tired
Yet filled with
Determination
To get
Somewhere
This loneliness inside
Seeks the companionship of
Shore
A harbor from the world
Where Grace arrives unbidden
Where my burdens are shed
Like wet clothing to
Dry in the sunlight
A short respite before
I continue my journey
We all need
Rest
We all need
Safe harbor
Sometimes
Remember to leave your heart
Open
To be surprised by
Grace

These things I know to be true
To my beautiful sons
I hope these words find you
When you are most in need
I hope these words find you
When you are most in need
And I am not there to
Guide and comfort you
That their truth provides light
When the dusk obscures your path
Of these things I am sure
Love is not enough without honesty
Dreams are sacred
Regret is a slow poison
Trust in yourself is a practice
Happiness must be shared and never hoarded
Love is not enough without honesty
Dreams are sacred
Regret is a slow poison
Trust in yourself is a practice
Happiness must be shared and never hoarded
Life is now so live it
I will forever be with you

Further contemplation on the odu Osa Ogunda ( Osa Kuleya )
I do not journal
The thoughts and ideas
That have taken roost
In my head
Instead I paint poems
Of birds in flight
Soaring across the
Expanse of my
Imagination
High above the trees
Observing the routines of men
The clothing changes
But the faces remain the same
Across centuries
Still struggling with
Life’s biggest questions
Slowing inching towards
Enlightenment
Even if it never comes
Only the raven knows
The secrets
Enlightenment does not exist
Time is the mind killer
Life is now
Live
Free
