from ordinary calm
springs forth moments of needs
a tickle's submission
of how want truly bleeds

an outpouring   feelings
a losing of control
rampant waters rising
to burst beyond the flow

submerged, under surface
waiting for it to break
life is a river wild
filled with heart's drowning ache

release all your tensions
once more into that breech
let the river take course
and satisfy its reach

In rhythms to a rise the days shall follow ... each Yesterday, each Tomorrow.   -  Ct/05

Wonderfully expressed yearning.

~ and when those floodgates burst open, it is undeniably difficult to stay afloat!

As the old adage goes, when life gives us lemons ~ make lemonade. So when those raging rivers roil and rage, instead of fighting those turbulent waters, we might as well "go with the flow".

Sorry, I got a bit side-tracked there!

Fine metaphorical writing!
