rowing

i know far less than i’ve ever known,
but i know enough.
i have far more questions than answers,
but i have enough answers.
i don’t know what i want,
and know i have all i need.
i don’t have much to say,
so maybe i’ll just listen.
i don’t see where we’re going,
so maybe i’ll just look.
all these things i know,
harder to repeat as we still row.

and yet,
i’ve seen more sides of you than before,
and that’s probably the point.
that’s not the consolation prize,
that is the treasure.
when you’re on board,
there’s no sea, no shore, no swell,
again i’m reminded,
it is well.

you still know how to reach me,
even here.
you still know how to love me,
even here.
you still have me,
even here.
so we’re still rowing,
even here.
