Message for Wednesday 10 January 2024
\Ferryboat/
An arrow in mid-air started well from an intent,
Ambitious bow, but then may seem a flight
Of fancy. Elevated and enterprising, some may
Lose their clear direction. Yet a waning moon
/
Does not diminish the beat of drums while Indians
Dance a war-dance and others of the tribe row
A canoe. There is primitive mobilization, even
Aggressive leadership. Yet mostly what is done
/
Is milder service of the public in a teaching role,
As if the captain of a little boat were ferrying people
Across a wide deep stream. Above is a beautiful star
Resembling Venus, shining brighter and brighter,
/
At last to disappear, fostering beneath painters,
Poets and musicians of brief longevity.
{Wednesday} /Ferryboat\
Cosmic Piper
Moon in Capricorn
