Water

The waves are coming in The sound of the water is all but familiar I would let it touch my skin I would let it wash me away from the world forever As I held my breath and sunk into I was swallowed with the world shut away Given a chance to imagine anew I was given an exacted moment to know I’m okay And I never felt more alive being so enclose Feeling so weightless with waters so heavy upon Just a while more yet no longer... I rose Revealing once again to the world I don’t belong How long can I hold my breath under water? How long more can I survive the world we build? There is no need to really be better... Simply a need to feel... and be real The waves are washing out I will hold my breath one more time Will the waters wash away my doubt To once more emerge... what will I find? ............................. Genre: life Song: Early Morning Fog by Hans Zimmer

A feeling we can all relate to. Too early to give up though. Regards David in NZ
