and in the end, we hold our heads
and fly into the blue
a solo flight, of pure delight
magnificent and true
pain is left on the ocean floor
and as we take our bow
the final act, not what we thought
we're swimming in the now

Things never seem to work out exactly as we imagine but adaptability is our human right and we all swim in the now.
Well expressed in these few lines.

Tina,

I have enjoyed your poems for some time now - and I think this is my favorite to date.

Thank you.
