To the end of the pier


Contemplating the fishing pier with its faltering pilings,
I wonder how many of my own are weakened
by life’s storms, from the constant motion of its waves.
How many solid posts do we really need
to go all the way to the end? 
Probably not all of them.

  1. Great metaphor and something I wonder, too! Plus, I'm not giving up on getting a smile - I'll let you know if it ever happens. (At least it focuses MY mood toward the positive.) Glad to see you're still writing the stones. PS This new anti spam drives me crazy!
