TRUE REFLECTION

To be lost at sea
is a struggle for the man
who knows not
the highs and lows
of his emotions

Terrified is the man who
sees himself as he believes
others see him

The wave builds and builds
through omission of tasks
negative thoughts
and ignorance of faults

Swallowed by a self-inflicted wave
is the fate of the man
who refuses to dream

To be lost at sea
is a blessing for the man
who accepts and controls his emotions
for the waters he faces are calm
enabling him to escape by countless measures
he has so many options
that more rather than less
are ways of survival

By neglecting the crowd instead of himself
he is able to
live yet another day
and dream yet another dream

Thanks again @stephenpaul. All the best in 2018!

I love the feeling of having a dream, a picture in the mind and to work towards achieving it :)
Have a wonderful year 2018 ^^

Some people say you need a plan and others are simply reactive...I'm not sure where I fall between the two @itisnow...thank you for the kind words and all the best in 2018.

Really enjoyed the poem @doghaus. It truly resonates with my current place in my path.

Keep Steeming!

Thank you @varignon, I'm on the constant path of calming my own waters so I can see beneath the surface - oh wait..I should have added that line! Maybe it'll become something of its own. All the best in 2018!
