BLUE DEPTHS
Falling to the deep.
I cannot find sleep.
I thrash in the cold.
In the devil’s hold.
Water covers my face.
A dark and creepy place.
I struggle for air.
Current takes my hair.
I’m drowning in my bed.
It is all in my head.
THE DEEP
currents
COME TO ME
COME TO ME
The ocean shimmers.
Shades of blues and greens.
Soft ripples.
Lapping waves.
Reflecting the sun’s core.
Glistening.
But here she comes.
The ship to shore.
Too close to the rocks.
Stay clear of the sharp points.
Stay clear of the strong currents.
Come to me.
Come to me safely.
A LONG HARD ROAD TO FOLLOW
A LONG HARD ROAD TO FOLLOW
The road at times feels long and tiring.
No end in sight.
Only hardships along the way.
When will life turn around?
When will it get better?
What lies at the end of this bumpy road?
Are there rainbows and trumpets?
Or a long drop into the dark water?
I’m hoping for the rainbows and trumpets.
I don’t want to have to swim against
the dark currents any longer.
LIFE HAS HUMOR AND BEAUTY
LIFE HAS BEAUTY AND HUMOR
EVEN NATURE HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR.
TO CREATE SUCH AN ADORABLE CREATURE,
REVEALS ITS LOVE OF LIFE AND HUMOR.
THE OCEAN IS BEAUTIFUL,
WHETHER THE SUNS SHINES ON IT
OR WHETHER THE WEATHER IS DARK AND STORMY.
IT REFLECTS THE COLORS OF THE SKY.
ONE DAY IT COULD LOOK DARK AND GREY
AND THE NEXT DAY IT COULD BE A MIX OF GREENS AND BLUES.
BUT WHATEVER ITS MOOD, IT IS PERFECT.
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
EVEN THE DUST SWIRLING IN THE AIR
AROUND US HAS BEAUTY IN ITS
MYRIAD OF DETAILS.
LIFE IS COMPLICATED.
LIFE IS GOOD.
BE HAPPY.
STAND STRONG
LIKE THE LONE STICK IN THE STREAM.
THE CURRENTS TRY TO WEAR YOU DOWN
BUT STAY STRONG.
IT WILL BE ALL WORTH IT IN THE END.
