The deluge and flood overwhelms my heart,
The waters lose no time to smartly play their part,
- Stirred and shaken, I shrink, shrivel and cower,
- Thorns pierce; I'm like an unloved trampled flower.
- Bulls-eye! I'm the real target hit by the flood-dart...
- Is it too late to journey ahead in my bedecked cart?
- Rejuvenate my once-upon-a-time spirit and power?
- A flood of a different kind as it rains like never before,
- The heavens bless and flash with thunderous claps,
- Magically alive to creativity as tears get washed away,
- As the clouds & sun conjure tricks, I find rainbows in store!
- The welcome flood in my poetic soul reigns free without traps!
- It's never too late to write my poem; 'The Flood' will have its say...
- Do you feel it's too late to do what you need to do or love to do?
- Or do you feel it's never too late to do anything?
- How do you manage the floods in your heart and mind?

ReplyDeleteThe floods threaten and I just keep dog-paddling hoping I don't wear out.
ReplyDeleteSomething to ponder every day...always glad when the face is cleansed of tears again..
ReplyDeleteExcellent! but sometimes, it is too late...
ReplyDeleteOh for those times when the "welcome flood in my poetic soul" spills words onto paper!
ReplyDeleteI like the flowing words, specially the ending ~ It is never to late, of course ~
ReplyDeletePowerful metaphor.
ReplyDeleteThe rainbows, yes. It's a relief after the heavy rains.
ReplyDeleteI've never experienced a flood thankfully but ofcourse I know the historie of a dramatic one in my country in the 50-s
ReplyDeleteA rainbow on the other hand, I've seen many times and I love it.
Have a wonderful ABC=day / -week

As long as we breath, it is never too late.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is never too late. Love the message that flows here Anita!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful flood of words. I enjoyed reading this
ReplyDeleteHighly inspiring! Have been feeling similarly recently and i wrote about it in my blog too. What a coincidence! I believe too that it is never too late to do what we love. Just go for it!
