Buoyancy

Ah, to float

To drift

Atop the liquids

Of our dreams

Carefree

Consoled

Coddled

And unaware.

 

It is always

There for us

A human virtue

This bobbing

Above the shoals,

The imminent reefs

Of care and woe.

Ever in our imaginings.

 

Always carry a raft

Even if ‘tis only

In your mind.
