Intention

You’re on the path, she said.

That proves that you will meet your goal

As surely as the bike path goes

along the water, from Oak Bluffs

to Edgartown. You can be certain,

as soon as you have turned that corner

(past the town and the wide green park)

that you will get there

For that’s the strength 

of your intention

and your work will deliver you,

steady as pedals,

sure as the asphalt trail

to where it’s clear

you want to go.
