Christian Collins Poet Rhyme

Up To My Knees

Standing alone

At the shoreline tonight

Up to my knees

Somethings not right

In the back of my mind

There is this thing you see

A something that is quiet

But won't let me be

As fast as I run

I know it is there

I try to stay still

Trying to catch it unaware

This something is cunning

And lightning fast

I know if I am strong

It just won't last

The wind in my face

The rain at my back

This something is close

Seemingly poised for attack

I kneel quietly in reverence

Trying to connect

My old tired ways

In search of respect

Standing alone

At the shoreline tonight

What once seemed dark

Has become increasingly bright
