Its been a long trip
On a rolling sea

Sometimes the waves were strong
Sometimes profoundly gentle

There was much to learn
On the rolling trip back home

Much to collect and apply
From each wave that arrived

The sea is calmer now
The waves more gentle

Her observations are more keen
She has arrived at being old

I met a woman on the bus

She told me about her favorite politician

He was different than mine


I told her my thoughts about mine

His character, his words, his loves, his actions    


Our conversation went on for a while

She applied each thing to her own choice


We parted as friends

With much to think about
