I went down to the beach today,
Wind blowing in my hair,
Lost in thought, in dreamland,
Where everything there, seemed fair!
In the distance on the water…!
I saw a ship sailing out to sea,
And how I wished I was on board,
I wanted to be lost in infinity!
I pondered on my life this day,
And thought of all the hurt and pain,
Wishing I was on that ship in the distance,
Knowing my life will never be the same…!
I mulled over in my mind…
What is happening now in my life!
Still wishing I was aboard that ship,
I wanted to leave behind my strife.
I thought about my future fears,
About the trials and pain I face,
Facing, but not afraid of…!
The dragons that I chase!
So I sat watching the ship sail away,
I watched the ripples in the sea,
Looking into the vastness of space,
That space is where I wanted to be.
I wanted to set sail on that water today,
And leave behind my life of woe…
But the path that stood before me…
Deemed the road that I must go!
As that ship disappeared into oblivion,
The wind still lashing at my hair…
I was lost in thought, no solace to be sought,
I decided sometimes life's not fair.
I was sailing away on the sea of time,
My mind filled with a pain so great,
Thoughts of the painful life I've had…
And decided it's never too late!
Never too late for improvement,
Nor to change the course of life,
It's up to each an every one of us,
To live in happiness, or pain and strife!
I shall have to continue to accept my life,
As it is, and take it day by day…
Because after all, when said and done,
I can't change anything by what I do or say!
So as I watched that ship-a-sailing,
Calmness washed over me…!
Accepting that, no matter what,
I will deal with whatever it will be…
That was then, this is now.
Do I still want to sail into oblivion?
No way!!!
Why?
Because even when we don't think it can;
Life always gets better!!!
