like forces of nature
emotions turn us from the norm
and who has the skills
to forecast the next storm?
we're at the mercy
of what goes on inside
we think we're the captain
it's all just foolish pride
no one can navigate
the islands that dwell within
the water's too choppy
the ice a little too thin
expeditions are met
with disappointing ends
we should have listened to family
we should have followed our friends
and just live our lives
with no need for explanation
live fully and ride the waves
like the rest of the nation
but I keep making the journey
and looking for the source
the wellspring of feelings
I haven't found it of course
like searching for the famed
fabled fountain of youth
I am seeking my own
deeper inner truth
