going with the flow

following the tide

curious to see where it goes

possibly lost at sea

for far too long

slightly delirious

dehydration and regret cloud the mind

this is the easiest part

to get stuck

but if you escape

and accept the momentary confusion

instead of thrashing around

pointlessly wasting energy

the flow of the water

will lead somewhere

land to ground yourself again

stranded on an island

alone and afraid

holding on for dear life

or somewhere magical and new

an unexplored place

full of beauty and wonder

maybe these two places are the same

all a matter of perspective

and when the time comes

you’ll be ready to ride the waves again

taking the risk

of experiencing the unknown

the confusion and worry

wondering what awaits

and what you’re choosing to leave behind
