Floating friendless,
On the tumultuous waves
Of life…
Serenaded by the blasphemous sorrow
Of transient victories,
Humiliated by the discordant dance
of mutilated dreams,
And, encircled by the emphatic assertion
of chastising fear…
You slip into an unrelenting vortex,
Of pitiless yesterdays…
Buoyant oxygen, depleting…
Bit by bit by bit…
You bow down
To the familiar foe…
Mourning the irreversible loss.
And then, a soothing voice
offers a life jacket.
Like a wise counsellor,
It whispers into your ear…
‘You have it in you’
A small smile supplants your tears,
Warm bubbles replace the cold sheet
Blanketing your heart,
And you gather the scattered will,
To stand up. Yet again.
