Life on a Sail....

Sometimes in life, our course is determined by the gustiest winds of destiny's lot,
like in a boat on sail, the winds of fate lead us on, where we know not...
The journey is exciting and scary, the winds are strong and the future unknown...
but then there's a joy in just enjoying the wind and letting things take a course of their own...


At other times, we chart our course through the high seas, with a heart of courage and strength,
we tread our own will and make our own destiny, across life's length,
its difficult no doubt but the end is worth the pain...
for its you and only you responsible for the consequence, be it the pain or the gain...

But then there are these strange phases in life,
when you are just adrift and afloat, with a mind so full of strife,
without currents and without the wind, waiting to be the captain of your ship...
waiting for things to happen, for decisions to be made, as your days skip...
for others to respond, for life to move on...
these are the most traumatic periods because you lack purpose and direction, movement and action,
Life encounters a comma and is waiting for the next word...
Tempestuous is the mind, but still helpless without a sword...
with dreams of future beckoning you forward,
and the ghosts of the past holding you back...

These are the most dreadful phases in one's life,
When you are just adrift and afloat, with a mind so full of strife.
