Wherever my soul sails
Joelle Wallach
Wherever my soul sails
or walks or flies, everything, everything
belongs to it! How completely
tranquil, simply;
Now in the tall bow
which unlocks the deep blueness of the silver,
I descend to the bottom and ascend to the sky.
Oh how serene the soul is
when it commands
like a queen, solitary and pure
in its infinite imperiousness!
