When the rising current
turns into sorrowed struggles
chained, blocked passage
as man pulls out
torn, tattered lips pull back,
back arched, shaking, shuddering
His Will sets the currents flowing
rocks, corals, leaves
falcons and eagles
revolve in circles of freedom
while human spirits seek the unknown
When the spirit of ridha, of acceptance ascends
the current flows
in a soliloquy of mutual peace….
*Ridha is acceptance
