Greater Good

Tempted to throw myself

into the sea again,

feeling the waters

behind my eyes

wanting to join

the seething ebb and flow —

I remind them that this is not

inevitable,

they would only be lost,

as would I,

by taking such a dive

There is a place for me

here at the helm of thought,

making the subtle distinctions

of perception,

ready with the course corrections

that will keep my ship from foundering

and deliver my proof

of the power of the higher Mind

for the greater good.
