James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Life's Jacket

In life you can wear a life jacket
For this no one has to see
It's not entirely for said waves
But internally to you and me

It's when you become immersed
In depths that you'd never known
Thrown against the waves of life
When faltering to never have grown

Imagine wearing that life jacket
Looking out to translucent see
How black it so quickly becomes
We're no longer in the trees

Our eyes are closed to the cold
Incoherent we have now become
When we were here we existed
We've now become sunk as none

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 11, 2016 at 3:49 AM Huge One, we do wear our own life's jacket once in awhile, the reasons that is accordingly to what we are experiencing or the situation we are in but I do hope the life jacket we are using carries major role that is to save us.... tight hugs!smiles~Olive Eloisa =`)
