tethered by a dark sea

"I woke up thinking about Turkish drummers
It didn't take long - I don't know much about Turkish drummers"
---Bruce Cockburn, from the song, Get Up Jonah!

i woke up thinking about Turkey,
and being near the sea,
a very dark sea,
moody and mysterious
i took many pictures of boats
small fishing boats dragged up on shore
all different colors
some looked abandoned
it made me wonder
how often i am like these boats tethered by a dark sea
made for use
made for water
but i have somehow allowed myself to become useless
turned upside down on a sandy shore
i can't let work, failure, success, dreams, plans.....
capsize the true calling to push out into the deep,
