Communication 126

to cast a line

bodies, they come
lives, they go,
many leave
with nothing to show,
alone forever,
dying of boredom
wandering directionless,
victims of an emptiness,
it’s hard to define
the need to cast a line,
into a void of a thousand
questions, sail forth now
without apprehension,
release the doubt
and contention,
we’re here to learn,
to make a connection,
to expand our mind
and perception,
we embrace a path,
so often obscured
by the many
who have fallen
overboard,
but me and you,
we’re self-assured,
we know why
we’ve been chosen,
the angler in us
never dies,
however hard one tries
we know,
it’s the water
where the answer lies
