27. THE SWIMMER

He swims
In the ocean of hope.
     He swims
In the ocean of failure.
     He swims
In the ocean of tears.
Something more:
     He swims also
In the ocean of his surrendered will
To his earth-Heaven-life’s Pilot Supreme.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
