A Man For All Seasons

For what can hold you

Now that the ties are cast loose

You have been set free

~

Not moored, nor adrift

But with hands steady on wheel

With all sails unfurled

~

The golden compass

Of the mind creates the path  

Seek what’s in your heart

~

Sail into winter

Slow and steady with your dreams

That they become clear

~

Sail into springtime

To plant the seeds of your life

That they may take root

~

Sail into summer

The blossoming of your dreams

Enjoy life’s sweetness

~

Sail into autumn

Harvesting all that is good

You reap what you sow

~

Uncharted waters

Are safely navigated

To your heart’s content

~

Go now voyager

Seas are calm, wind is steady

Safe passage assured

~

North, south, east and west

In which direction to start

Mentor knows the way

~

For counsel comes through

Wisdom and application

KNOW THY ELEMENTS!

~

Plan and chart the course

Two heads are better than one

Future guaranteed
