Poetry - inspired by Anne Bradstreet

The Flow

You will not be bothered by the flow

In humility, in nature, in oneness

A step, or breath, a thought, as though

You’re perched to observe the abyss.


Seeing an ocean of progress and growth

Expecting is the downfall of life

To think my control will bring me love

Is to imagine a wave that will not subside


And if in retreat it disappoints my mind

I’ve lost the love that others achieve

A failure to all, an embarrassment in kind

I’ll stand alone with nothing but to breathe.
