Can't Calm The Seas

Poem Artwork



Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for
what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen.
~Pliny the Younger~


CAN'T CALM THE SEAS


There's just not much I can control,
My hands are grasping air
The more I need to calm the seas....
I sink in my despair
Will NOT borrow bygone sorrows
They're dust upon the wind
And yet I can't help looking down....
As my tight rope walk begins

Lady A

Lady A
After "Madness," thought I'd check a little futher. I am intrigued by the recurring tightrope theme. With these two poems spaced some apart, am curious if you are aware of it. Vicky
