every new day

nose above water

head in the clouds

trying to grasp reality

beneath the thundering waves

quiet green and rolling hills

a resting place for my weary body

to sink would be so easy

treading water with no land in sight

nose above water

head in the clouds

sing me a lullaby

I love the last line, Yheela. Beautiful imagery :)

[Yheela]

Thank you very much. ^_^

I know this feeling. I tell myself to stay calm. Not to panic. Enjoy the beauty around me. If I get too tired, I can float on my back. This is a beautiful expression of your thoughts.

[Yheela]

Thank you. ^_^

A gentle desperation, a hanging on somewhere in the mind where you see more than where you actually are. Such a beautiful poem about finding peace somehow .. somehow, Yheela

[Yheela]

Thank you, peace of mind is so precious in today's world.

[emmajoy]

Without it there's nothing else but tears ..

Keeping your nose above water in the job you do, I guess can sometimes be hard. In my mind you do one of the most important jobs on the planet.....Keep treading that water

[Yheela]

Thank you, I think it's very important too.
Think they'll raise my pay if I showed them this? ^_^

[Dr. Wood ?]

I would only ask for a small percentage..I am not a greedy man..Never been an agent before

[Yheela]

HAHAHA!

[Yheela]

Thank you.

I can relate to this, and the title fits perfectly. I like how you shared your strength (to sink would be so easy) in not giving in to the feeling of being stressed, and overwhelmed. Very well done!!

[Yheela]

Thank you, it's unfair - that giving up is the easier choice.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This is MY viking Queen speaking to her warrior. Such a well described feeling of being overwhelmed and stressed. I am guessing you are a teacher! lol

[Yheela]

XD
Good guess! And thank you.
Feeling less stressed now though.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Lol of course I know you are a teacher! Glad you are less stressed.

[Yheela]

Things have a way of going the right way, if you only let yourself breathe.
And also, I realized how much I love my students. ^_^

[John Alexander McFadyen]

They are so fortunate to have you!
