HERA’S HERO
It is the author’s fervent wish
this odyssey is just your dish.
For it would make him very sad
if it should make you Iliad.
***
In ancient legend Hera’s love
shown down on him from up above
while brave Odysseus plied his way
through threats encountered day by day.
During his quest her blindness struck.
when faced with immortal bad luck.
When mad Medusa’s spell was cast,
Hera could not see his ship’s mast.
He and his fellows sallied forth.
Her tears rained south as he went north.
wreaking great havoc on their path;
Her hero drenched in sorrow’s bath.
Hera’s soul knew desolation,
until, in love’s desperation,
she cast a paper transformation
on the surface of the ocean.
Reaching down from heaven’s gate,
Hera grasped firm upon their fate:
she tore the paper cover up
and pulled to find her loving cup.
Odysseus was thus tossed out
when his ship capsized on its route.
A handy lifeboat saved his day,
but it kept moving the wrong way.
When Hera’s godly fingertips
felt the goal of her mighty rips,
her great heart lept with divine joy
and he became the first boy toy.
But soon anon she put him back’
to ride his tiny questing track
on new watercourse untattered.
She had discovered that size mattered.

THE SEA MY HIDE AWAY
*
Here I hide
In my tears of sorrow
Enough to make the tides cry
Where had my boat gone
And left my high and dry
Without a ride
Oh my had this blue sea swallow up
All my pride I tried to so hide
The uncertainties and such unknown
Is surely eatin away at my soul
Yet this deep blue sea
Is my refugee
It holds all the tears that I have so cried

~Velvet Waters~
Whispered petals,
Washing,
Lapping over me,
Oh, so tenderly.
Am I,
In these layers,
Drowning in a sea of uncertainties?
Or possibilities?
Lost or found,
Beneath these velvet waters,
Am I bound?
Luring,
In their seductive caress,
I sub come to the
Softness of their velvet nest.
Haunting in these depths,
Of solitude,
I inhale,
Choking,
Not to find no rest.
Inhale,
Fluttering to the surface,
Knowing,
It’s the sunlight,
I like best.

“Drowning in a Sea of Uncertainties” by Tran Nguyen
EMERGENCE
Drifting from the edge of the day
into the uncertain dark of night,
my heart and soul in the midst
of turmoil and distress,
no match for the tidal wave
threatening to carry me away,
all I seek is some peace
within the unknown beyond,
feeling rather helpless,
afraid and unprepared
for what may be
coming this way.
But from somewhere within
the darkness surrouding me
a faint light begins to emerge,
breaking through the dark clouds
that have smothered the sky.
And my spirit which had felt
so broken and bruised
begins itself to emerge
from beneath this cover
of all-consuming darkness,
better prepared to face today
and the tomorrows that lie
just beyond the horizon line.
And what tore at my heart
and bruised my spirit,
suffocating my emotions
and drowning my soul,
is supplanted by hope
and the peace I’ve found,
my rudderless boat finding
a much steadier course,
the clouds departing
as the sun breaks through,
my spirit no longer
drifting aimlessly
upon these dangerous
and largely uncharted seas.
