Submerged

Submerged in the river’s deep embrace,

Yet we don’t drown, in this watery chase,

It’s not the fall, but how long we trace,

Submerged in worries, in life’s swift pace.

For events are but ripples in time’s flow,

They come and go, as stories show,

The problem’s not the problem, we know,

But our attitude, where troubles grow.

Like the river, life’s currents sway,

Submerged in worry, we lose our way,

Yet if we rise, with a new day,

Events pass by, in the grand display.

Awareness, the key to break the chain,

To see events as passing rain,

With a shift in view, we break the strain,

Submerged no more, freedom to gain.

So let us not drown in life’s river deep,

Rise above, from worry’s sleep,

With a new perspective, our spirits leap,

Submerged no more, our souls to keep.
