Sea of Sorrow

The tides of time carries me away.
Swept off my feet into a sea of change.
I flounder around till I decide to surrender.
Underneath it all, there is stillness and peace.
The surf of troubles stirs above.
The shore seems so far away, so distant.
Is it worth the effort to swim there, only to be knocked down and dragged out again?
I hold my breath and think.
