A WELL TRAVELED HEART

BEFORE

Before imperfection
I sought life’s meaning
not knowing the rowing
was it, not the arrival.

Before I became ignorant
I told others what to do
believed I had answers
not knowing even the questions.

Before I became old
I found quiet boring
its slowness a flaw, not knowing
the rowing was all.
