Cost of doing Business

Cost of Doing Business
 
Rolling on the high seas of life
Facing the wind
Leaning into the current
Willing to be taken in by the pull
Squeezing out the breath
Flailing In the turmoil
While being observed by discerning eyes…
 
Going deep within, an internal pull larger than the external
Swim Lori, swim
Believe Lori, believe
Reach Lori, reach
 
Don’t look back
There is nothing there to hold on to
Climbing to the calm
T’is character building
One breath, then pulled under again,
Two breathes, under,
three and a little sun,
reaching to the light
 
A vision, a solitary journey
Not visible to the observers
Tell me can you see my depth in the struggle
Or
Do you see only the cost of doing business.
 
Lori Ellis-McKinney (2014)
