the water was as choppy as my life has been
small craft warning in effect
tired tired tired of being buffeted about
then just let go of everything
experienced a downpour of serenity
falling softly from white lined clouds
let the damn dam burst around and over the rocks
drifted away in the flow
a calm, yeah that’s what it was
sailed away to where I always wanted to go
a port out of the storm where I could just relax
calm those jingle-jangle nerves
that anxiety that was like an aggressive army
always ready to attack and advance
now they were AWOL and I didn’t miss them
got drunk on the peace
high on the quiet
content to abide and let it ride let it slide
ride this wave of nirvana as long as possible
not gonna let anything or ANYONE
deny me or capsize me
never again
