Battle the Flow

In my mind on my time I row down the river of dreams on days the water is calm and I row on peaceful solitude sometimes come to a place of where it babbles wanting to race then it will carry me or a while we will drift along the current then we will come to a spot where we race along the rapids being tossed and turned if lucky the river will quieten and not be overtaken by flow every so often we hit white water it is like riding a roller coaster our dreams are taken on a ride we are to awaken and see the danger that the once calm peaceful river has become a place of danger a place where solitude no longer exists it is time to pick up the paddle and battle the waging currents loftily encroaching our dreams.

hello pyillis, It is nice to paddle along the water when it is calm. Yet a struggle when the water is rough. then we long fdor the shore amn shore that is seen. So a rest is need. Before we begin again to carry on to where we want to go. Hugs. Love, /Darlene/
