Calm Waters
calm waves cover me
lull before another storm?
i am slowly sinking
i can choose to float
and go with life's ebb and flow
why am i sinking?
a moon child with a
water sign... melancholic...
challenging hurdle

super gorgeous piece...
your writing is in full swing!
thanks for the support.
Very nice Bing. You capture your thoughts so well :)
Do not sink moonlit child!!
:D Thank you for sharing.
Knowing we can choose, and choosing are two different things. Remember, stay in the sun and keep your eyes on The Son.
Hi! Sorry I haven't been to visit for awhile, though I did sign on as friends and get you updates on my new food site, Brookly in Transitions.
Bing, this is a lovely, lyrical poem ...I hope you don't feel as sad as the poem sounds.

Very deep and emotional....resonated with me.
Sad and beautiful, moon child. Time for reflection.
Poignant and lovely....
and thanks for visiting my blog with your nice comments
This is very beautiful, Bing.....I think it is my favorite one of yours.I know the feeling of trying to flow with life, yet still getting overloaded with way too many challenges.........I love "moon child, with a water sign, melancholic". That is a haiku in itself........Very lovely. Hang in there.
Wonderful Bing, you turned this weeks theme into a masterpiece!
Gosh, you packed a lot into that piece....well done!
such a cute poem...You wont sink, your body is just getting used to the water...it shall soon float.
Cheers!
This made me feel so sad...and yet there is some hope here, too, because it's like the sinking is a result of the thinking and the feelings involved and that when that changes, the sinking will stop. Very thoughtful and very intriguing imagery.
jingle, thanks for your concern. i'd be ok. muahhhhhh!
nalini, it's good that the sun keeps on shining. i'm holding on to that. i won't allow myself to drown. thanks for your kind words. :)

kathew, i loved your piece this week. i hope to read more from you. thanks for stopping by. :)
sherry, it does get too heavy sometimes and make us feel like we're sinking. i guess that's part of going with the flow as long as we don't allow ourselves to drown.
thanks for you kind and comforting words. i really appreciate it. :)
amanda, thank you for the visit. i'm glad that you like my post. :)
penelope, thanks for appreciating. :)
emmanuel, what a refreshing comment! thanks for the reminder. :)
talon, you got it right. the sinking makes you think. but then sinking is different from drowning.
thank you for your nice comment. :)
Life's trials and tribulations are like a storm at sea ... they are always followed by calm. Hang in there, you're a strong woman.
wenny, thank you for those nice words of encouragement. light will shine soon again. :)
Wow, so true. Sinking for a time happens, but eventually we have to remember to float again. Life's ebb and flow, sink and swim. Well done, Bing!
The life guard in me is screaming "FLOAT!!!"
I say sink..
beautiful writing
jenn, the ebb and flow make life so beautiful. i'm so glad to know you like this piece. thanks. :)
ria, nobody thought of that! you are indeed a life saver. :) thanks for dropping by.
woih, sink but not drown.. only to get back to one's feet again. thanks for the visit. :)

melanie, thanks for appreciating. :)
Life is swimming through rough weather where hurdles come as waves and lash at us. Choice should be wise and entirely ours. Good work with the Haiku's
soft ripples
distort the reflection
of the moon child
yet the melancholic beam,
guides the waves
This is a very soothing piece,I really love it.
