In the Hospital

I smile to visitors
as I go to lunch.
They touch my smile
like light from a lighthouse,
and I know that someone is in danger,
another is departing,
another waits on shore.

I thought I was sailing
on a sunny day,
but it can be stormy, this life.
This hull we are buoyed by
so very thin, they flash.
