Ocean of Life

Tossed within the ocean of life. Tripped by its shells. Lost in the sands of time. Tangled in sea weed. Arrested by its reefs. Released by its tides. Caught still by a fisherman's net. nearly reeled in but released by the tides. Blinded by the sun,penetrating the merciful tides. Staying afloat a difficult task. A pearl nearly reached in the mouth of a clam. A hand blown away by the current ,a super fan. A whorl pool of anxiety,caused by a near capture of a jewel so fine. A life tossed and lost in the sand of time. Mercy and struggle combined. Pearls of this ocean still one can find. Tossed and lost many in this ocean. Attempt to stay afloat countless devotion. Struggling for breath,gasping for air. What tear can be seen in this oceans lair? tossed tossed tossed

Sounds like rough seas to me. Like dew drops from a flower petal may the words you seek flow from your pen. Smiles and huggs TLee
