Quieter Waters. Poem by Fay Slimm
Quieter Waters.
Experiencing storm, excited seas
Stir.......... and soon boisterous
Becomes noisily loud.
Blown about water is proud.
With mountainous waves it tries,
To quell force...... to no avail
It wants to restore quiet again..............
And fails.
Calmer seas,
Feeling unpressured will
Ease themselves.......... depart
From turbulent wilfulness,
And find peace.
Like our own measured skill
In dealing with storms
Of the disturbed heart..............
We can permit, ....unwillingly
Stressed seas of life
To lay us to waste
Or gently thwart them...... partly
By calm.
If we seek harbour, increase our peace
By staying gently afloat................
Noting safe ports, ....... stress
Will decrease............
Then calmly........ and unafraid
Of occasional gale
We will prevail...........
Our quieter water days
Will be here...........................
To stay.
I loved the imagery, and your comparison of the seas to lifes personal emotions and stresses. Ups and downs in other words. Your art is to make such wonderful comparison from something like the cruel sea. Best Steve
