Adrift

 

After surfing on tides of emotions
and bobbing on bewildering impulsive waves,
rising with crests of rapture,
sinking into despair's labyrinthine caves,
floundering in uncharted waters
and blown about by winds of change,
roller coaster rides through darkness
in times which were scary and strange,
I've paid the price for my joy ride
and now weep for stable land;
desperately seek the elusive shore
and long for a safe place to stand.
Rescue me from this turmoil,
take me into your fold;
in this unreliable, insecure world
give me a steady hand to hold
