Swimming the Unknown
These are days that require I swim,
to breathe under water, to float tears I can’t shed,
and be strong enough to reach an unknown shore.
I struggle in the power of the current,
fear the length of the storm.
In my weakest hour I rally memories
of what I’ve overcome.
Peace waits in the raging
with open arms.

Peace has open arms if we can get calmed enough to find them. Very worrisome, swimming under water. And I can't relate to its figure of speech.
ReplyDeleteIt reads good, a nice poem for me.
