Sleeping With the Moon

Sleeping with the Moon The movement of the water that surrounds me The slowing down of the force between us The balance of the water holding me like a mother holding its child The character of our bodies reflect its simple gestures The openness of the situation yet encapsulated by it The subtleness of movement tells us to slow down and yet we strive so much The ignorance of the mind cannot be controlled by fact or fiction The world is a symbolic icon to human life but for how long The water knows how fast to move but we are still asleep in our mothers arms.

Water is symbolic of life and birth. There are many different interpretation to this poem. Very good effort.
