Bravely Drift

10/10/2020
Brave heart, when so I'm called - 
More like Gibson, my brain adjoins!
Gasping for breath one inhale,
Bursting with laughter the next.
Thoughts don't make sense
hence, poetry doesn't either 
rhyme big with reason!
Sailing along, sometimes paddling
To drift away some little current 
Is all sometimes will allow
let that suffice and just follow
The time to swim will come; 
time enough left to be Phelps yet
Let this be enough right this sail;
Now, smile as you drift along;
frowning when away-
Yet, still with the current and not still
Off with a safe and dead log;
Not safe and dead somewhere else!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
