Week 9 : Choppy Sea

11/19/2017

        Choppy Sea
 
Treading water on a choppy sea
Thought maybe it was only me
If only once I could be free
Tranquil water I could see
 
Adrift the waves just seem to mount
Ocean water fills my mouth
Desperate more than I can count
Hopes and dreams all headed south
 
One more wave will take its toll
One more problem flood my soul
My senses now begin to dull
As my lungs are reaching full
 
I need a lifeboat, need an arm
A strong hand to pull me out
I came so near to buy the farm
Hope is needed…not more doubt
 
Suddenly I’m lifted up
Air is breathed into my soul
I deeply drink salvation’s cup
Thinking what was nearly stole
 
Now I venture back to sea
Knowing that is where I live
Hoping some little help to be
Helping hand that I might give

    I started Monday Morning Poetry Group in April 2017 to share new poems I have written since I published my book of Poetry.
