REFLECTIONS © 2011

The smallest wave

Is not enough to sail,

You always need the bigger one,

Where, in the abyss, I see you fail.

It’s in the strength of great waves

That you seek to challenge the sea,

But each high tide brings with it

The risk of seeing you sink, you see.

The small wave may be gentle,

But lacks the power to take you far,

While the big one, with its might,

Can drag you down and make you spar.

Sometimes, the abyss is a place

Where we face our fears and strife,

And it’s there, in the depths,

That we find the courage to rebuild our life.
