Adrift

  • Hello fellow poets. I am originally from a very small very remote town in the woods of northern Maine.The town had a population of 560 souls.I was brought up( in what some would consider to be) abject poverty.If I was I never knew it. Simply due to the fact that everyone around me was in the same "boat".I have been writing from my teens. I enjoy the woods to this day. I hunt fish and hike whenever possible.And through the years I've learned that there is a God and that I'm not it. "SLIM"

Adrift

 My soul is but a cell.  
Adrift in the blood of God.No fears befall me here.

My demons have been cast out.
My transgressions abated.
Thus my soul's austere.

Adrift true.But not aimlessly.
For I drift through His blood!
And shall one day reach the heart.
 
Then  my soul shall bask in glory
No longer shall it drift.
And the wisdom of the ages
 to me He shall impart.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
