Life Swims

life swims
do you know what i mean?
the current is strong
and every second
flows on
the river of life
doesn’t stop for anyone
and it can feel like racing sometimes
like a surge
like a tsunamic force
pushing us beyond what
we feel we can stand
so we grab for stray branches
to slow us down
and sometimes cut limbs
get a pierce in the gut
when you fight it
you will struggle
and you still will not win
the force is too strong
and you are too small
other times the going is slow
and you flail your arms and legs
trying to pick up the pace
but there is no sprinting
in wild waters
you must go at the speed of the flow
you are given
that’s life
