Afloat

Afloat I had been for time undefined

In suspended animation lay my mind

Waiting for the shore to come in view

I carried along on the waters blue

Aimless, directionless floated I

Staring at the expanse of the sky

Without an ounce of control

I just followed the whims of my soul

Keeping blind faith on unknown powers

I waited for destiny’s favorable showers

Finally, came upon the horizon

A beautiful land warmed by the sun

I touched the shores and realized

This was an opportunity prized

Hopeful waiting had brought me this far

It was up to me now to reach for the stars

With this revelation I plunged straight ahead

With a goal in mind I hastened my tread

Found the fruit of my patience and labor,

Like honey it was, sweet as nectar!
