The Pool

(Prov. 3: 5, 6 / Jer. 10: 23 / 1 Cor. 10: 12, 13) While Driving Down A Winding Road On A Day So Humid–Hot Out of The Way and To The Side I Glimpsed A Half-Hid Spot … I Almost Did Not See It It Was Guarded Well By Trees But There Was No Fence or Signs Of Being Private Property … It Was Still Early Afternoon On A Lazy, Long Weekend So Instead of Going To The Mall I Drove Closer & Got Out … To Get In There, On That Plot of Ground Gleamed The Smoothest, Inviting Pool So Still & Surrounded By Rocks It Looked So Tranquil & Cool So I Took A Sturdy, Leafy Limb Of A Fallen Branch On The Grass To Climb Down That Stone-Mound-Citadel … but I Fell – It All Happened So Fast! As The Pool Rippled Around My Body Concentric To My Shoulders, It Crept At First I Could Wade Neck-Deep But The Pool Changed To Bottomless-Depths And Down I Went Further & Further Tho’ I Strove Up With All My Might! ‘Til Nearly Drowning & Passing Out As Lungs & Heart Were Squeezed So Tight But Something Touched Me With Fluid Grace & Began Lifting Me From This Pluvial-Pail Drew Me Up In Steady-Splashes Like A Bucket Being Raised From A Well But The Day Had Changed & So Had The Place And The Pool Now Showed A Rain-Plop-Plop, Lapping Face And I Don’t Know How Long I’d Been Gone Now I’m Just Trying To Make It Back Home In A Wet ‘n Wild World – That’s Not My Own … ‘Cause A Pool Made A Fool of Me Turning Wrong So, If Driving Down A Winding Road On A Day So Humid–Hot Beware of Out of The Way & To The Side & Don’t Look At … That Half–Hid Spot Written & ©: 7/2/2013 By: The MoonBee
