Riding the Waves
At the helm
stands tall, surveying
choppy waves
up ahead
face set, determination
he braces himself
Expertly
navigating, he
holds steady
amid the
instability, while the
waves intensify
Eyes widen
as storm surge rolls in
skies darken
winds blow fierce
fighting to stay afloat now
frightened by the swells
Finally
waves begin to calm
dark clouds lift
debris drifts
but he is still intact and
bravely sailing on
Sun breaks through
brilliant, glittering
glorious
golden warmth
gleaming horizon makes him
giddily alive
Intrepid
unmovable and
steadfast, this
is true love
a courageous man willing
to brave all my moods
(NOTE: Although I listed this as a Free Verse, it is actually in Shadorma form...)
