Sometimes the flickering light gets awesome bright
Sometimes it dims and you tend to drift far way
When things are not working right, don't sail
But stay and get your thoughts focused
On that flickering light, no matter if
Just a spot, make sure it's there
The one purpose you're here
You've got to clarify what
Makes you persevere
What cost, what's
The cause of
Sleepless
Nights
A
Vision
Or just a
Ghost long gone
Feelings don't prove
Anything except that you're
Human, fallible, flexible, gullible
Listen to the voice inside your heart
What does it say about the truth of your
Desolation - is it only imagined or a distraction
As the sails are swept by the strong wind, and your
Fingers bleed from holding, hoist up or sails tie down?
The theme of the poem is great and acceptable to all. Your poet's note clearly identify the meaning of life and decision making. Dear Doris, you have inscribed this poem astutely and nicely with touching diction that I appreciate. The structure of the poem looks attractive in 'V' shape. Thank u a lot.10
This is the reason for poems: illumination of our path by others who sees our light when it gets dark. Thank you, Kumarmani for lending me your light.: -)
Such an inspiring poem, Doris... Amazing arrangement...10++++
Hi Bernard, It's a K poem. A glitch from the inner universe. Inspired by my imperfection. At one point in our life, we all must make this decision whether to risk sailing or hide in a cove and be nothing.: -)

I would like to translate this poem
It's a majestic K shape but can be also taken as a V for Victory, the human spirit prevailing through rigors of circumstances. Material substance cannot prevail over the indomitable spirit.: -)
