I settle into my floating kayak, 
gliding across the water like a swan, 
floating away from any worries on the land, 
floating towards new opportunities, new experiences, new realities. 
It’s just me and my journey on the graceful stream. 
 
I graze my fingers on the surface of the water, 
creating delicate ripples in the steady current, 
daring to stand out from the smooth, glassy expanse, 
not afraid to fight against the flow, 
creating a new beautifully unique path. 
 
I pick up my persistent paddle. 
I powerfully surge each blade through the water around me, 
creating a powerful wake behind me and launching the kayak forward. 
Each stroke of the paddle perseveres on,  
advancing me with undeniable force.  
 
I lean back and let the kayak guide me down the river, 
allowing nature to take its course 
and navigate me to where I’m meant to go. 
Because sometimes in life, 
you need to let go.
