Sail

may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our 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

Lucille Clifton

Happy Independence day!
