CRUISE CONTROL ( Translated into French )

Dear friends
This is the tenth poem of mine  which has been translated into French by none other than Honourable Athanase Vantchev de Thracy, World President of Poetas del Mundo , undoubtedly one of the greatest poets of contemporary French.
========================================================
CRUISE CONTROL

Like, a boat
inspite of warnings
wandering in sea
in choppy waters
LIFE
offering
rollercoaster ride
negotiating
high and low waves
of expectations, aspirations,
omissions and commissions
trying to steer clear of
miseries and illusions
bogged down by
wavering & dithering decisions
sailing to set destination
yet drifting to unknown
then
anchoring to gauge
and wriggling out of
self created mess
by self control
and meditation
directing the ship
to desired destination.

CONTRÔLER NOTRE ROUTE


Comme un bateau qui,
En dépit des mises en garde
Erre en mer
Sur des eaux agitées,
LA VIE
Nous offre
Des tours de montagnes russes
Où il faut franchir
Les hautes et basses eaux
Des attentes, des aspirations,
Des oublis et des avantages 
En essayant de nous éviter
Les misères et les illusions
Où nous nous embourbons
À cause de décisions hésitantes et mal à propos
Sur la destination que notre voile doit prendre,
Décisions qui nous font dériver vers l'inconnu.
Puis
Elle, la VIE, nous permet de nous ancrer
Où il faut
Pour nous dégager des ennuis
Où nous nous sommes mis,
Et, par la maîtrise de soi
Et la méditation,
Diriger notre navire
Vers le port souhaité.
