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!
