Trimming Our Sails

Cut flowers
live longer
gracing us
with their beauty
when their stems
are trimmed

Dogs
whose claws
are not worn down
develop a problem walking
when their claws
are not trimmed

The sail boat
makes optimum use
of the wind
sailing more efficiently
when it's sails
are trimmed

Ultimately
we should
hold on to
our beauty
walk unhindered
and keep our lives
on the right course
by once in a while
trimming our sails
