You, Raise the Water Level
May 18, 2021
Boats, floating; tranquil
The water level rises,
And so do the boats.
All of the boats float the same.
You, raise the water level.
Your boat rises, too.
You, raise the water level.
All boats rise with you.
To rise, raise the other boats.
You, raise the water level.

This piece was inspired by Steve Hardison, who said that when one boat rises, all of the others do too. This inspired me to raise my water levels, and in doing so I raised other boats with me.
