Navigating Away

Cast, reel, caught,
Falling into this safety net.
She wanted -
Cushion, inspire, uplift.
But instead,
Comfort, stay, stagnate.

The strings tugged hard,
Holding on, against the current,
Of natural flows
And rush of spirit.

A fight, a flood -
But a strong held block,
Dams of steel, heart,
And stubborn rocks.

An attempt at salvage,
Nets patched up,
Strung together,
With words..only words..

If there was more..
In safety she'd stay.
Breaking out,
Swimming with the current.
Directionless but not,
Now, just navigating..
Away.
