A crash and bang! A crash, bang, boom! The eerie sounds of pending doom. A wayward boat on choppy seas, The hunger pangs, the black disease. My face is bloody, stained with tears And scarred with ever mounting fears: Will I reach land? Be cast away? Or live to see another day? Will constant aching ever cease? For all I want is light and peace. Shred the sails now! Cut the tether! No more dark and stormy weather.

Well written. The wheel of life is continously turning and what goes down always comes up again eventually.

I find this poem worthy of much more than a single reading; symbolically suggestive in meaning expressed. Love and best wishes to you, Marla,
