I am the captain of my ship,
The Hear and Know. An ocean whips
its waves across the bow and mists
the air to brine my brow. I miss
no crew, no oars, no growling drum,
no cries of war, no brew, no chum.
No one to tie me to the mast,
no one to tell me don’t look down.
I am the captain of my ship,
the here and now.
