Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
- Leonard Cohen

Like a Paperboat
June 23, 2008
Fragile,
I sail into the sea
With mighty sun to keep me dry
and the current beneath to move me
Helped only by the wind
At some point in the sea
I know I will perish
But how far I can go
that is the challenge
So as collected as can be
I’ll befriend the sun, the wind, the sea
Even the vast mammals
swimming around me
For one day, some rainstorm
May whip and ravage me
But I’ll rest in the thought
that…
The hands that created me,
folded me with certainty.
