For Every Day We Swim Across A River Poem by Mark Heathcote

For every day we swim across a river
another is placed in front of another
much - wider & deeper than the other.

'Trip looking backward' stubs your toe.
Think - isn't so? Ask, what do 'I' know?
shake apprehension away… let it go.

You see the culpability of a failed task
as part of your ego, this to let it go.
You see the culpability of a failed task.
Lies not knowing the right questions to ask
being short on the truth, we all wear a mask.
