~swim~ Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

On a solemn search
I look within the why,
Fear never seems to loosen
and on my back it rides.

At rest like calm water
as peace now fills about,
Yet peace no longer eases
incoming waves of doubt.

The days have numbered down
and nights have fallen short,
I lie counting the hours
as both merge and distort.

I long for those moments
that flow somewhere between,
Travel upon these worries
and somehow wash them clean.

Rolling with the tides
and all their highs and lows,
Looking out and listening
for a break to show.

And now in the distance
nearing toward end of day,
The sunset seems forboding
as moon brings night my way.

I smile with the thought
that an answer lies right here,
And somewhere it was lost
amidst my ocean fear.

Another night will come
and another day will too
Many more may linger,
as I swim life's journey through.
