"oceans of My Mind"

I'm swimming in an ocean of decisions...
The water so deep that falls into confusion..
Riding the current into different situations...
A cool wave of pleasure that starts a sensation...
Thrown up and down in a riptide of deceptions..
I see the land so close but no conclusions...
The tide carries me to the shore with no reservations..
A Poet paints a picture with no illusions..
A ship, a boat, or a raft are not my salvation...

How well you describe the struggle of life, comparing it to swimming in turbulent sea, Michael. There are few life rafts that can make the struggle easier, but love and friendship do seem to help. Great poem! Love, Carolyn
