a perfect storm

energies dance to the rhythm of one
knowing the journey has already begun
in exhilarating hesitations this boat must partake
as the wind takes hold of this once placid lake

a storm’s intense fury of swell and surge
holds no regard for alleviating the urge
and this boat is left to rock in torment
as it is held captive for an eternal moment

pulls and tugs and gasping for air
as turbulence consumes without time to prepare
and all it can do is let go its sails
holding on for the ride and all it entails
