Alarm bells ring for fishers to regard

Risk awaits, a fishing expedition ready to lead.

A tour of care; every step is thoughtfully taken.

As we pilot over the waters, clever minds awaken.

Sinking the line deep into tranquil or bomb waves.

The sun reflects on ripples and laughter.

Sparkles of joy as life’s tensions ease away

A glimpse of beauty amidst the ordinary routine.

No need to rush, no haves, and no shoulds

Just take a deep breath in silence when nature speaks.

A gentle peace washes away the stress.

But what happens when expectations become a mess?

Flaws and mistakes can take their toll.

Voices whisper, “Play it safe or put your soul at risk.”

Weighing options of greed and generosity, we trust.

Breaking free of fear with the hope of something just.

Time can pass without a trace, but it leaves a mark on our hearts.
