The Unforgiving Current

Love like the ocean

Carry me away

It is hard to stay afloat with gravity working against you

The burdens borne only worsen matters

Waves continually crash over, making each passing moment a greater struggle

Ignorance can be life-threatening at times

The beach was safe, but curiosity often proves to be overpowering

The hope of something greater has carried me in, like dust in a breeze

Swimming along the shore is never enough though

The thrill of losing sight of land has long been yearned for

And because of it, I now float lifelessly in the sea

Merely a slave to the waves

The warmth of the sun’s rays hit my body

It is too late for me to appreciate them like once before though

The tide has carried me back to the land

The sand now forms a blanket for my body

To rest upon until life arrives again, like the night sky

But even when my breath returns, nothing will be the same

For my curiosity has now made me fearful of the ocean

So safely on the sand I will remain

Unsure if I will ever swim again…
