Blessing the
Boats
-Lucille Clifton
(at St. Mary’s)
1 may the tide
2 that is entering even now
3 the lip of our understanding
4 carry you out
5 beyond the face of fear
6 may you kiss the wind then turn from it
7 certain that it will
8 love your back may you
9 open your eyes to water
10 water waving forever
11 and may you in your innocence
12 sail through this to that
