Wednesdays will be Poetry Days! My first poem is from one of my favorite poets, Emily Dickinson. She wrote a lot about eternity, nature, and love, even though she was kind of a strange person. If she were alive now, we would be reclusive friends. :) This poem is from her collection on time and eternity. I love the idea that life is a sea journey and that we can finally anchor safely with our Heavenly Father. Sail on!
CXLI
ON this wondrous sea,
Sailing silently,
Knowest thou the shore
Ho! pilot, ho!
Where no breakers roar,
Where the storm is o’er?
In the silent west
Many sails at rest,
Their anchors fast;
Thither I pilot thee,—
Land, ho! Eternity!
Ashore at last!
