Poem

FATE
Steve Williams
(Wild Poetry Forum)

Evergreens are taken by rough men
who bury the river in thumping rafts;
leather boots tread the spinning bark,
the logs run the men.

Tri-masts define the tall ship,
they anchor taut sails as she surges
through swells and spray,
the sea sails the ship.

We circumnavigate each day,
the body seismographs the hours,
ink of sweat stains the air,
we cause passage of the day.

Song

Coldplay “For You”
If you’re lost
And feeling low
Circumnavigate the globe
All you have is hope
And the way
You seem to flow
Circumnavigate the globe
I never seem
To lose control
With you
