Ride the Waves?

Draven

Navigating the waters

Feeling overwhelmed and a bit lost

Not quite shipwrecked

Yet all decisions come with a cost

 

Waves continue crashing over

Night turns into day

 

Which to choose:

Keep on steering through the storm

Or let the tide guide my way

    An apt comparison for life's upheavals is the force of tide and power of breakers - a poem to read and remember dear Raven. - - your appealing imagery touches the core of coming to right decisions. Good to see you posting again .

      its what we do, isn't it .. or rather what we have to do .. it is sometimes best to go with the flow .. at least until ya get your breath back and can see through the mist and fog .. Good luck my lovely & remember, we are all in your corner .. x

        Thank you very much 🙂 Yes, you are right. I like to be in control, but it doesn't have to be of everything.

        It happened to St Paul (Acts Chapter 27). He had some spiritual knowledge that it would be bad to journey on. A ship's captain went ahead with the voyage though, and they ended up shipwrecked.
        But yes - take the voyage, whatever weather - anything to get away from my singing! lol.

          wonderfully succinct
          and intimate in tone
          while offering little context..
          really well penned, dear Poet
          and yes
          we all need to ride our own waves
          before we can look around
          and sail, life's gridlocked sea's..
          thanks for sharing
          and even if you don't share
          keep that mighty pen, dancing
