What comes naturally
is ‘going with the flow’
no need for a sail
just put your boat
out into the current
is ‘going with the flow’
no need for a sail
just put your boat
out into the current
Lots of company
floating along
life is but a party!
A continual celebration
down a lazy river
of days, months, and years.
But there’s some folks
who set their sails
pull out the oars
and go the other way
Up the stream
against the currents
eyes on a prize
One way lies the waterfalls
a crash landing
over
The other, a reward
“Well done, thou good and faith full servant!”
Fully human, fully alive
assessing the situations clearly
setting out to make things better
Oh, what a ride!
Choosing paddles
sometimes tacking
against the winds
using the wind in spite of
gaining, always gaining…
closer, closer, to the prize
assessing the situations clearly
setting out to make things better
Oh, what a ride!
Choosing paddles
sometimes tacking
against the winds
using the wind in spite of
gaining, always gaining…
closer, closer, to the prize
Making ports, landings,
out of reach to the floaters
higher, higher up the streams
high ways of life
And somewhere up there
the final landing
a dock like no other
a heavenly ‘click’
connection
a welcome
to a mansion
