The Risk We Take


“The Risk We Take” 

Walking into the ocean 
the sand 
like time,
falls away 
underneath 
our feet,
it’s inevitable;

we fall 
you and I inside,

into the great
unknown;

Walking into the ocean
the sand 
like time,
falls away 
underneath 
our feet,
it’s inevitable,

it’s the risk
we take

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)
