A World of Surrounding Water

A World of Surrounding Water
You’re hiding yourself in a cave,
Wondering if you should take a glimpse at the world
A cold body of water sitting still with no sign of life,
Surrounding you, keeping you from what’s on the outside

The radiant beams of sunlight shine into your once dark and lonely cave
The illumination of light gleams into the water
Leading way to a path in which you are to follow,

The glowing on the water leads way to a world,
A world of misunderstanding,
A world full of mistakes,
A world that’s worth forgiving,
A world that everyone takes for granted

A world for you to explore,
The body of water being what surrounds you in life
The sunlight is all the good twist and turns,
And that cave you hide yourself in is protection
from all the hurt, rejection, and negativity,
That everyone faces in the world, 
A world of surrounding water

I love your good use of imagery in your lines. When the glowing on the water leads way, a great description!
