Before they wake up
say a quick prayer
today your heart will heal
hull stoppered up and smoothed over
flood them with your gushing wholeness
crash over and float them up to find laughter
lurking just below the surface as its own
life preserver

I remember early morning fishing on Lake Cumberland and a leaky boat that kept me bailing water, and all the fish I could have caught if it were not such a daunting task.
I enjoyed you taking me back.
Well said. The memories flood back.
I love the image of laughter as its own life preserver.
“hull stoppered” – gorge
I’m a fan. And know the feeling and the prayer.
Stoppered up and smoothed over – love this imagery.
