Your Wake
January 12, 2013
Flying over and through the water,
Behind us is the wake.
The waves splash out from all sides,
Birds bob from it,
It leaves wet stains on the markers around us.
Our wake shows the path to where we came,
It determines where we go.
The boat flies in its path.
The wake leaves evidence behind.
At any minute, the wake can be changed.
The boat's adventures can be forgotten.
It can acquire a new future.
Its destruction can be forgiven,
Changed to help.
What is my wake like?
What have I left behind?
Where have I been,
Where am I going?
Can it be changed?
