~sink Or Swim~ Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

For every light and shadow shone
from every joy and pain that's known,
Arise and sets like sun and moon
forgive, forget, relive.....how soon?

Begin and end as birth then death
reborn within your soul's last breath,
Don't drown within the killing tides
as waves rush in past alibies.

Dreams might sweeten salty shores
await and drift for something more,
Fall-fast in morning tide's first break
and rise above before you wake.

Then fall from heights that rose too high
and burn with flame within the sky,
Come cool below in deepest blue
your soul can swim, but now will you?
