Your thoughts on my thoughts please?
Shooting the Rapids
Times arise in life where
One can only go forward
In a flimsy craft
Loosed on a wild river
Entering a deep, narrow gorge
Relying on reaching calm waters beyond
Secure that peace will abide a time
Placing the tiny vessel ideally for the next trial
Against circumstance and the pilot's fears
To serve well once more while seeking
Here and hereafter until the last rapid.

Nice work. It's strength lies in it's allusion to the heroic - a rare enough thing, that. Best line..."Against circumstance and the pilot's fears." -great stuff.
I have posted a piece just down the line that might interest you?

If I was in this flimsy craft , I would have to go the long way round. one doesn't get to know a wild river by entering it fast .
Great poem thank you
