another reason for loving words

I came across this poem this week and I love it.  Now I share it:

blessing the boats

by Lucille Clifton

(at St. Mary's)
may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of your understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back   may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that

"When do you write your poetry?"  Rachel asked me.  She's great.  She actually believes what I write can be termed poetry.  She also inspires me to write.  Because I haven't been.  Besides the occasional journal entry or entry in Eamon's book, I haven't written anything creatively for a long time.  But as I read over old ideas, the spark reignites.  I love writing.  So I think I'll give it a go and start sharing some stuff again on my writing blog...as long as E naps, but he's up now.  Maybe tomorrow...
