Caught Unawares
The person in question
not yet man
no longer boy
strong, but quite shy
poised on the precipice
of destiny
A river had caught him unawares
he with half a paddle
head full of hope
belly knotted in fear
watching deep waters rush along
now unsure; then headstrong
To cross it he must
A crisis of trust
Midst the Wind's cruel gusts
