The Drift

Hearts do fall in life Burst into storms of ardour Drift against anchor. Confine your heart to reason When not ready for the tide.

You are a most accomplished poet dear Besma. Your words are so illustrative that at once I get a mental image. And now this - I love the Japanese form of poetry and love Japan which we visit regularly. You see my daughter-in-law is Japanese. I wrote a few myself. I've posted 'Love is in the Air' which fits well with your write. This has to be another FAVE for me. ...Maria :)
