row row row your boat

in ascent, we climb and slip
but we get up and climb again
somedays, we will take more steps
forward, some days more steps away

but the way of Ganesha, is to watch
the leaking holes in our boat
to have it in the corner of the eye
take care of it, and keep afloat

most hangups, drop off
as nothing can stick to the spirit
but there are holes in the soul
that take years to fix
