Water
October 10, 2010
Water
Pure and Simple
You gently touch it
Ripples move
And disappear
You place your hand it
And move it around
A big movement compared
But small in your mind
"Get on with it"
You scream inside
"Just go. Take the plunge."
But you stay dry
"Why?" You wonder
"Your here. Why not now? Why do I feel so scared when I know I'm fine."
You gently touch it again
The ripples feel safe
Because you know them
You smile
Then frown
"You can" You tell yourself
Then why can't you?
