Surviving the Storm in the Sea

I am
overwhelmed,
and underwhelmed.
overwrought,
and pervaded with deep peace.
fearful at every turn,
and confident that all is well.

I desire
the riches of a queen
the wisdom of a sage
the flexibility of a yogini,
and I want for nothing.

I seek
reasons, explanations, knowing.

But there is no clarity in a maelstrom.
