Voyager

Listen! there is peace Setting in the wake of unrest Which cost me the loss Of all those dreams That were in progress- But they were drifting Farther out to the sea And each day, I saw less of reality... I abandoned those dreams But I stayed afloat While the water of hope Took no opposition To the rocking waves And I learned the pleasure Of letting go The struggle for control, As result, I was free to move... I thought I saw those dreams Floating back to me once again, As if to say, simply, They would leave their way With or without me- But they would still exist Because I gave them Substance and life All of their own!
