Mastering The Sea…

Sailing past this sea,

Hoping for calm sea.

Hoping to reach the destination in time,

Wondering how it would be once I reach the destination.

But how could I have known what the future held,

The sea rough as hell.

I thought to turn back, at times, but that’s not who I am,

Sometimes hoping the next morning will be calmer.

But alas, it never improved,

Rougher it got.

I lost many lives,

And lusterless, my body got.

Worn but still hopeful,

Torn but still whole.

Believing that this too shall pass,

And pushing forward now Mastering this sea!
