Calm Seas

Calm seas for a day and a half

have turned rough without giving me notice.

How must I prepare?

I have no choice but to ride the storm.

Rising, falling, and rising enough times will make me strong.

How do I know this?

This isn’t the first time, now is it?

Once strong, I could move as the wind, free forever.

Ritu lives in Sarasota, Florida with her loving husband.Ritu's debut picture book - KARA'S DREAMS is available for purchase on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, https://rituzastoryteller.com and www.PathBinderPublishing.com.
