Sailor on

Sailor on

When you are in the center of the worst storm and the risk of turning
back is as great as going forward you must......

Sailor on.

And at this moment, in time ,when reality sinks deep into your gut and
makes you feel sick you must.....

Sailor on......

When all you see before you are huge waves and your entire life is
focused on getting over them; one at a time..you must....
.
Sailor on.

And at times like this when you wish and prey and imagine that this is
not happening to you and you try to day-dream it away

You must Sailor on.


When you see your own self sinking into the abyss, twirling gasping
drowning and the only hope are scant sun beams filtering through the
violent surface

You must Sailor on.

If you know ,for a fact, that the storm ahead will be long and arduous or
short and treacherous it makes no matter because

You must Sailor on

No matter what ,

You must Sailor on ...

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
