Paulette Calasibetta Poet Rhyme

Chartered Dreams

The raft of life with chartered dreams,
                        through currents of storms and anguish;
                             the voyage tears apart our seams,
                            holding back our fears we languish,
                                      with oars of hope,
                                     struggling to cope.

                      Whirlpools abduct our course with might.
                               Pools of serenity and peace,
                               a horizon beyond the fight.
                          Where challenges begin to cease;
                                   stronger from strife,
                                      renewed, in life.
