Making paper boats
To set sail down the stream
A tiny fleet to carry weighty cargo
Each boat with fragile paper sails
Each carries a memory, a pain
Baggage that weighs down the soul
Embarking on a voyage to nowhere special
To just sail away, away
And leave the heart light, the soul cleansed
Free of the past
Stand on your feet
Back straight and eyes clear
Face the dawn, the hopeful day
Reminds me of a short story I wrote years ago 🙂 https://holeinthehedgerow.com/2024/01/22/paper-boats/
