In the past, I have read some very deep poetry that did not seem to speak to me. I later found out that prose was so personal it could not be known by anyone but the author. This might be one of those for you to not fully grasp. I hope it will fulfill you in some way if only for a uniqueness.

In my head are the drops of life running around.

Silently shifting from side to side without a sound.

Then enters the demanding, pushing, rush of everyday

I know without a doubt,  many detours are in my way.

I bob and weave discussing with my thoughts so near

Knowing I am the captain of the ship, I  now must steer.

With purpose,  I grasp at what I can solidly and tangibly hold

Wishing to continue as long as I am able to be so bold.

Hoping I do not throw out what really should be kept

Then again not keeping those thoughts on which I wept.

    I understood that perfectly. They are the thoughts which many of us have at some time in our lives. Beautifully expressed.
