The Moon becomes closer,
My cogitations remain jumbled
I escaped the town a while ago
The festering wounds did not heal
Nothing could usher me backward
The surviving solids stayed held tight
All my affections are still within me.

I cannot reckon the stain has gone
My mind was blind, but my heart knew
A load of despair hangs on my neck
Why did you believe this agenda would work?
All efforts to turn desire into love failed.

I am navigating the sea of nothingness,
Turning sweepingly, feet whirled
I bestowed the fluid into a frenzied whirl
Above, gentle waves touch the neck
They threatened me while I was still smiling
There were no signs of land in the vicinity
My toes are itching, and my feet are squirming
A strong will is our only chance for survival.

We swim in the sea of life. However hard we try, we may not be able to reach the shore. Our limbs may grow weak, but we shouldn't give up. Keep moving with a strong will and determination. Powerful poem with strong sentiments .

Well written, Lasaad. Life can be so confusing as we become vulnerable as we age and mature. Our minds present the grestest challenge as our thoughts evolve and change some of the things we've believed all of our life. Our mistake haunt us even more as the mind multiplies the negative more extensively the the positive. Walk on, be true to one's self and with God, and His Love will be unconditional. Blessings my dear friend. Bill
