White Water Rapids of the Mind
Uncontrollable
and turbulent,
the
unfettered mind.
Thoughts
colliding -
the
pandemonium unkind.
Control
an illusion.
So
easily deceived -
until
the mind’s rapids
afford
no reprieve.
As
lives are pushed
to
the max of endurance,
illusions
are shattered
among
life’s torrents.
Obstacles
lay hidden
and
dangers unfold -
waiting
to capsize
the
unsuspecting soul.
Hope
navigates
and
combats the fear.
Hope
that the end
is
somehow near.
