Troubled heart,
Troubled mind,
Sinking spirit...

Need time away
To think, to feel;
Or not think,
Not feel for
A while...
Just to be.

To let the
Waves of life
Carry and
Buoy me up;
To find the sign,
The direction
I should take...

Sighing in
Reflection
Of the person
I could, maybe
Should be

Not let myself
Get lost
Again
In mists
Too thick
To see through...

Just ride the
Waves,
The gentle
Tide,
To soothe
My troubled,
Troubled
Mind.

Shannon~
This oozes the need for the search of serenity~

'To let the
Waves of life
Carry and
Buoy me up;
To find the sign,
The direction
I should take...'

Very nicely done.

Cindi, thank you...I prefer this ending, myself, to the rest of the poem.

Cpat, I'm glad you enjoyed.

JLR, I'm glad you like this. I seem always to be moving through thick mists.

Marge, I tend to fight against life too much...when I should be just riding it's gentle waves. I'm glad you liked.

Thank you, everyone, for reading and commenting.

The search never stops, but understanding comes with conscious time -- personal time, if you will... It's easy to forget that one needs time to one's self every so often when one always finds one's self giving all of one's time away to everyone else and to all of their needs...
