Tidal Wave

Setting sail and dropping anchor,

Inhaling and exhaling,

Thinking you’re out,

Only to be drowned again-

Desperately trying to reach the surface.

Riding a wave ecstatic and unclear,

Going where you want,

Just to realize it’s not what you want,

Wishing your thoughts were guided

As effortlessly as the ocean is.

And with every wave that crashes,

wash away your troubled thoughts.
