Cast Adrift

I float on the tide
I drift in the seas
Of international uncertainty
My roots cut free

The tethers of my life
Unravel in the winds
Storm tossed, I flounder
I thrash and struggle

I cannot swim in these tides
Powerless, I stop.
Make a choice! Take control!
I turn to the sun’s warmth

I bathe in moonlight
I float under starlit skies
I choose to drift.
I choose to float.
