As the boat gently glided away from it’s mooring
The waves lapped at it’s hull as it drifted on the current
Some people struggling to connect feel a similar effect
Drift along with the majority rocking unstably
Emotional connections seem vital for quality of life
For without them we seem to bounce about in strife
So true and well written, Kate!
The ocean waves…whether their sound barely perceptible or loud and powerful…are always mesmerizing to me.
Yes, connections to others are so important for our emotional good health.
HUGS!!! 🙂

Drifting can sometimes be good, so long as we’re charting our own course.
