The Shore's Promise Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

The Shore's Promise

Addiction is like a quicksand.

It pulls you down,
down,
down --
to the deepest
and darkest bottom.

But remember --
no matter
how deep it pulls,
if you reach for the light,
the shore is still there,

waiting...
offering a sense of hope.
