Trust The Guide Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

She liked to be in control
Of her life, her time and the situation
Weighing each option, carefully planning
The next step in the journey
Prepared for all possibilities

But times were when she felt as if in a dream
Those were the times when she relaxed
And let herself go with the flow, as they say
No planning, no boundaries, no restraints
Wild like the Amazon flowing as per the terrain

That was when things happened
Unexpected, unimagined, unexplained
And she admitted that the plans of the divine
Were always superior to her own
And the flow was always easier that way!
