Crystal Clear Water Poem by Dorsey Baker

You are in the water
and it is very deep
you cannot see the bottom
the swans are
all around you
they will not drown you
even though
they may try
the water will not be
your demon
it will rescue you
you will live!
you will be a hero
you will be a champion!
you have overcome
the darkness
the sun
runs down from
the high mountain
just to give you light!
you jumped!
down from the dark cloud
into the wind
your heart is still beating
your head
is still
above water!
