just row

as we row
away from  trouble,
we look out across the wide
sea
we can't see the other side,
it's too far,
but there are
decisions to be made
before we begin.
who comes along.
is the ship able,
strong.
what will the weather be?
are there pirates,
rocks beneath the calm waters.
and when we get there,
what then?
none of it matters.
what matters is leaving
and not looking back.
set the sails,
take an oar, and row.
