Calm the Waters...

It's a matter of perspective,

sometimes all it takes

is a change in direction

for so much of Life

is Smoke and Mirrors

and the wheat that separates

from the chaff weighs more,

making it seem a chore

until you realize

what is left is

the Staff of Life,

giving you the Strength

to go further, to Endure

and that is part of the reward,

the Quid Pro Quo

you will come to know

if you open your Eyes

like saying goes,
"Free your mind

and your ass will follow",

no need to wallow

in the mire of your making;

tell me, what steps are your taking,

how do you spend your waking moments,

Seeking, Searching

or groping blindly and lurching,

tossed about in a boat

in the Sea of Galilee

or sitting in the warmth

of Sun and Sand,

secure in the Understanding

the waves that roll towards the depths

will come back gently

towards the Land?...
