Left Bank


The white horse and the lioness stand side by side on the hillside,
Watching me.
Fierce protection and understanding.
My white pebble, smooth and round, sits snug in my pocket.
Pure potential.
Service to others, whispers Gandhi.
A life of service.
And my grandmother reminds me that strength and resilience
Are necessary.

Barefoot, I wade across the shallow river,
Small stones underfoot,
Clear water.
My board of advisors
Watching over me
New day.
