Love Upon the Water
For David
I knew
when the cough
didn’t assuage
and five hours sleep
became nine
When a fatigued pump
failed to divert veinous rivers
from bronchial deltas
When wildebeests
of stampeding corpuscles
crushed the narrow passage
of chambered atrium
When the bright pillar appeared
and the temperature dropped
I knew he hadn't been lost
at sea to a category five
buffeting Life's face
But, found by Love upon the water
calming the surge with Grace
outstretched hand beckoning
Welcome back home, my good
and faithful servant. Well done.
