This could have many meanings but largely refers to trying to avoid seeking shelter when needed.


SITTING DUCKS

c2018 Brian Beecher


Give yourself space to
Feel and listen to you
Without so much
Wondering what to do

Breathing room today
Which sets you up perfectly
Might bring you face-to-face
With the forces of history

We are like sitting ducks
We are like sitting ducks

To keep your relationships
Happy as you feel you should
To balance the “I” and “we”
In ways that make everyone feel good

Take it easy on yourself
And on others today
Choosing forgiveness will
Really simplify the way

We are like sitting ducks
We are like sitting ducks
Adrift on a lonely sea
Hoping for a stroke of luck

Bringing things into balance now
Especially your own feelings
Lends a steady hand
With grounded spirit yes you can

Build the best of life on earth
Though at times left in the cold
For whatever it’s all worth
You can find beauty to behold

We are like sitting ducks
We are like sitting ducks
Adrift on a lonely sea
Hoping for a stroke of luck

We are like sitting ducks
We are like sitting ducks
Unsheltered from life’s storms
But one day we’ll see the sun
