Life floats by with the ease
Of a sailboat in a spring breeze
Out on a peaceful azure lake
Until the weather has a sudden break
And hurricane winds of change
Bring tidal waves that rearrange
The pieces. So, life shatters
The mast splinters and scatters

Wishing the storm had a lower cost
Hoping sometime you will be tossed
A preserver on a coil of rope
Providing you with the hope
That the rudder will start to steer
Towards peace and away from fear
That again there will be a strong mast
And ripped sails will be in the past
