A Poem by Tricia O'Brien

There was a time when she thought she had it all. Her life was on track, her mind clear and heart was so full. She was independent and successful. Her love life was on fire, her family was well and she had high hopes. There was a time when she understood her place and held it beautifully. She was called upon and known to be reliable. She had drive and an untouchable groove. She had this look that was unexplainable. Mysterious many said. She sang like a dream and spoke with such strength. Her face was soft and her stride was powerful. There was a time when she knew all would work out somehow someway. She was reasonable and charismatic. She laughed till she cried and cried from pure happiness. Her name was said with love and appreciation. There was a time that she was what she was “meant to be”. She fights everyday to regain what once was… There will be a time that this will all be rewritten and have a promised ending

Years ago many erstwhile competent sailors who found themselves adrift simply gave up and died at sea, many were lucky and drifted back to shore, others used familiar things to guide them; the stars, the sun, knowledge of sea life behaviour, to find various paradises around the world - and not only survived but thrived.
This write reminded me of a vessel lost at sea but filled with a cargo of hope and a good captain. Thanks for sharing Tricia.
