Make me a boat

more of a journal entry for me than a poem

make me a boat out of construction paper

set sail to soft sheets and hot chocolate

Let me live perpetually safe

in the confines of an evening in

moments captured like light in photographs 

make me a pale blue dot in a sunbeam

make me so small so all the bigger things

spend time worrying about me instead

[jacob erin-cilberto]

but it is a poem, and a fine one...the idea of bigger things worrying about me instead...i like that.

we do sweat the small things...i am going through that now, and am drenched...
i would like to live within the confines of an evening...

a peaceful one.

i related totally to this poem, thank you.
