"NAVIGATING THE TURBULENT OCEAN CALLED LIFE"




I wanted to be a butterfly,
Fly in the air high,
Swim the vast oceans,
Like the mermaids and dolphins,
But the turbulence was scary,
Of the waves I was wary,
I calmed myself down,
Let all fears drown, 
The weight of falsehood and egos thrown,
Everything pretentious blown
Away, I learned to accept and embrace all,
Looked for my Lord's directions, even after a fall,
Invited positive and happiness,
Doing away with sadness and scrappiness, 
I drew out my dreams and visions,
My senses filled up colour, saw them to their destination, 
Every turn, crest and turf, made me learn a lesson,
Helping me to live life, love all creations,
Thus I navigated through the turbulent ocean called life,
Peacefully anchored, in moments happy and in strife.
