Corywracken

four strands

slender in the storm

struggle to hold against the flow

four strands

fine as gold, strong as steel

all between us and certain death

and if I fail all fail along

I too have a greater hope

and desire to flee what pursues

I am fearful of what would be

if desires were given form

and thank God that these four strands

are held by One stronger far than I

An understanding of Corywracken as

found in “I Know Where I’m Going.”
