Compartmentalization

Sectioned into different compartments, I'm buoyed, I stay afloat in the raging sea, Time has taught me this lesson, Experience has shown me this path, The sages have given me this key, As I sojourn through life's mystery lane, As dawn chauffeurs me through the shadows of time, My heart is not fragmented by the clime, Every trouble for its compartment, Every cloud for its drawer, Every gloom for its chamber, Sleep is not a wish escape, I'm not shielded from the smiling sun.

"Experience has shown me this path, The sages have given me this key, As I sojourn through life's mystery lane" - Very beautifully written. Congratulations!
