Ripples
The ripple that tips the boat The one that catches you off guard, Turns your world inside out, In a moment where your mind is miles away. You've come across these conditions before, But since then the waters settled, And the ripple which tipped you before, Is far from your thoughts. Now you're again caught defenseless, Left in the middle of the water, Holding onto the of the boat, despairingly, Watching the oars drift out of reach. "Why didn't I see it coming?" You think to yourself, And your startled heart thumps, But you feel as if your face has lost all its colour. You sigh with unsettled relief once again, For it was only ripple, Not a wave that could break the boat, For now... my heart can rest... "Despite the mess, Despite the fall, You are in control, You are in control. Of it all..."- Calling Elijah
