Lost at Sea

(Eye in the Storm)

By Kenneth DavisPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I live by myself

I love by myself

If life permits

I'll probably even die by myself

They say there's no greater gift

Than being alone by yourself

You are your greatest teacher

Therefore, life is wealth

In sickness and in health

Some would go the length and separate

This holiest of sacraments

Rather than evaluate

Take the time to educate

Acquire new knowledge

Building self-awareness

On this continent we frolick

Smell the roses in the forest

We may overlook or trample

Though, may not be one's intention

In this life we often gamble

Let's set the best example

Know the children do look up to us

Watching every move you make

Their future, it depends on us

...Be selfless, not so selfish

Towards the helpless

Many endure obstacles

Why spectate till they perish?

Even if your life

should undergo construction

Nothing wrong with lending tools

Or helping hands

Building up our brethren

Such a pick and choose land

Partiality is favoritism

Favor is a weakness

Never recognize the hate within them

The greatest love to me

I've learned is sacrifice

It takes a heart so vast

Who would die so you could have a life

And wonder if we take it all

for granted

Clearly, it's more blatant as is ever

Like manipulating weather

Patterns mobilizing

In one's life gradually

You can be the eye in the storm

Or another ship lost at sea
