You know, I love these days.
These happy days of calm sails and bright mornings with sweet waves. And did I mention the beautiful sunsets too? It’s perfect, I could swear it is. Except I know it's not forever.
Gloomy days and rough storms lay right ahead. And they're so close, I see them. And boy, they don't look pretty.
But until the clouds change garments and the sky turns dark, until the clashing cymbals of thunder rumble, until haughty breaths of Poseidon crash and my mast smarts from the wicked waves, you shall find me here.
You shall find me here. Right here. Doing my thing, living it one day a time with that
million dinar glittering grin stuck on my lips, expressing the calmness within.
Yes, it shall be rough, I can see. Yes, I am uncertain. And perhaps, I feel knots form in my stomach and trembling at my knees.
But you shall find me here still. I shall not drown in fear. I refuse to become a puppet of my anxieties and worries. I shall not cower for cover below deck.
No, I shall be here! Right here on deck. Undaunted, with my hands hugging the rudder, for I shall continue steering forward. I shall ride with each wave forward -towards my Eldorado.
So, until those days, allow me enjoy these happy days of smooth sails. Allow me to sprawl on deck, basking in the tickling warm sun and relishing each drag of clean oxygen as I sip some cheap wine.
Permit me to lose myself in the words of Jermaine & Lamar and nimble with finesse to the booms and claps of Trap. I shall smile and cackle in loud guffaws and snort and drool.
Bring it on. I'd be right here.
