Reflections on Still Waters.
Blue, blue, still and tranquil
The lake is calm today
Sky above white fluffy clouds
My little boat held secure
Sitting quietly tied to its moorings
Just a small boat on still waters.
Recalling my own moments upon reflection
How much I am that small rudderless boat
Sitting on my own vast ocean
At times trying hard to keep afloat
It was only yesterday my boat rocked to and fro
Where it was heading I did not know
The shore was far and I could not see
Bleak and grey the sky with no blue on show
As I tossed and tumbled in the whirlpool of life
Rudderless, reckless never at ease
Up one moment and down the next
Wandering aimless with naught to please
It seemed I chose the storms of life
Rough riding them out usually in fear
My little boat at the mercy of my feelings
Even when the safety of the shore was near
It is not like that today as I sit quiet and still
I have learnt the joy of steering my own boat
Never again in the restless grey sea
Tossing and turning trying to keep afloat
Now I Understand that my own still waters run deepest
The far reaches of the sky are a part of me
And distant mountains in a blue, blue sky
Imbibe in my spirit and set it free.
On this day as I sit and watch my little boat
I feel contentment whilst enjoying the Tranquility
With Love in my heart and understanding
My own little boat is in total, peaceful, harmony.

Thank you Vinod for the opportunity to once again participate in another of these Masterpiece Challenges.
See Vinod's page for more creative representations of the surreal painting above. Expertly executed by Mr Vinod L. with interpretation by myself in the above verse.
I did a story to Vinod's last challenge and if you did not read my story for the beautiful painting earlier, then you can read it here now.
