The Troubled Water


Flimppy- winkky the water goes Slowly hopping the water traversed Hills and valleys it creates No matter its nature, it progressed Though, dinky- lanky it waves It was troubled. Swift and slowly it ponders Calm and cool yonder thy mind Sought and balance of essence Implore thy aid, seek thou vast Vehemently treads calling for a pit Even in there, lies more troubles Let it flow, let it be troubled Look patiently to catch the trouble For shunning off the trouble needs serenity Every trouble has its genesis and its end Get the beginning of yours and the end not far fetched The power is in you- calm the troubled water.

C I Nwafor

Being realistic gives me the soothing relief to self-assurance by saying; it's well, for there is always a way! Am God's poetry. I'm from Anambra State in the Eastern part of Nigeria. I love attitudes that have an aptitude to fine altitude.
