Swimming Upstream

My soul has left the serene ocean of the eternal And like a salmon swims upstream The river's turbulent waters of the temporal, Determent to overcome any obstacles found For its destiny to fulfill! © Demetrios Trifiatis 02 September 2018

Wow! I had to read your soaring verse over and over! Indeed it is an ascending journey for Divine mercy and grace.. it is a spiritual and cleansing journey of wise souls.. a journey of self awareness and deeper understanding of the complexities of human nature and the universe.. a good choice of the metaphor! "Swimming" in purified surrounding! In my FAV. list for your profound great work that moves both heart and soul. Always a pleasure to read your gems dear Demetrios. Best regards. Be blessed

Life sometimes feels that way, swimming against the current, but we never give up. Tom
