May The Goddess Guard Her. May She Find Her Way To The Summerlands. May Her Friends And Family Know Peace.


American poet, Lucille Clifton has taken the ferry ride.

She lived in St. Mary's County, Maryland, and she wrote:

blessing the boats
by Lucille Clifton

(at St. Mary's)

may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back may you
open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that

I heard her speak years ago in college. You could easily see her power.
