In the mysterious ocean of time
Boat of life waved aimlessly for long
While singing carefree songs
With no direction and identity
Pampered with smooth journey
Relaying on helm of happy dreams
My voyage was led by stormy wishes
I took granted all i had
With belief of certain victory over sea
Which will take no effort at all ,i thought
Unfamiliar with storms waiting ahead
Roaring anxiously on my ignorance and pride
Enlightening my being with with dreadful dazzle
Light that discovered hidden corners
Where darkness disguised in form of light
Fog of illusion that melts away when sun rise
Each gust of wind peeled me inward
Fear came out like biggest Sum
Behaved like nuts and started to drum
Rain and thunder questioned my dare
"Who can Survive, deserve life is fair"
Overwhelmed by sudden pain
Tears showered like piercing rain
Is this possible with skills so naive
Finding way through storm "to survive"?
Noise of drumming loud and loud
Surrounded by invisible crowed
Sorrow ,fear ,shame and despair
Discouraging whispers echoed everywhere
Fallen ,broken ,tired numb
Upholding undeniable fate !
Fell into boat about to drowned
Fled into mountainous tides
Urged ,twisted ,forced to die
Unable to breath ,hard to try
Drifted into world so calm and dark
Bird of soul about to embark
Between soul and body was something still
Made me retry and forced to drill
Striving back with shaky frame
Felt empowered ,though physique was lame
Sea cherished my wish to live
Offered me he had to give
Piece of wood from which i slipped
Seemed to me even more than ship
In the cup was there only sip
Could not afford to loose my grip
Nothing is useful to you until
One has not his "power of Will"
Now i knew what to set next sail
Steadiness along Faith each trail !
Wishing all my kind beautiful friends a Happy New Year Filled with Grace ,health ,joy and peace each moment,amen!!!
Beautiful poem, baili!

I hope that 2020 is off to a great start for you and your family, Baili. Your poem was powerful, but what keeps going round in my mind is the line, "I took for granted all I had." Life is precious, let's take nothing for granted this year!!! Sending you a big hug!
