Valerie Letkeman Poet Carpe Diem

Released

I languish on a sea of untamed thoughts
I am powerless to reign 
The tempest within
Some say there are no new stories
But this way I have not been,
So my story keens
As an infant borne
In the bowels of a ship
Seeking stormy release, fearing the deep
Knowing not what is known
As  the word winds sweep
Safe to the shore , where I land in a heap
Alone but with relief. Released.
