Drawn in the Current

Adrift by Locopelli at deviantart.com

So much of my life I have tried to set my own course

To sail to destinations of my own choosing, charting my path

Powering through the waves ignoring the push and the draw

But now I sit aimlessly enjoying the wind and the current

That draw me to places I never before imagined

And perhaps before it was all about the illusion of control

The continual application of power and steering

Trying to capture the wind and waves and use them for my purpose

Yet, perhaps the underlying rhythms of the deep knew all along

Where my ship was sailing and slowly but surely exerted its pull

To a new world beyond the edges of my dreams
