Like A Boat Drifting












Like a boat drifting,
sleep flows forward
on the deep water of dreams.

Drifts and drifts...

until, finally

the bottom falls out of knowledge.

In the fragrant mist of dawn

the rower wakes,

picks up the oars, sets them,

and begins to row.

All night

he labored in his dream

to be born

like a song in the mouth of God.
