Poem – The Tugs of Water

 

We tug at the water the keeps us here.

We watch things sag and tone disappear.

We live in a domain where the water inside.

Allows us to live and allows us to thrive.

But as we go on and the days fade.

We question if we were living in a masquerade.

The water inside begins to flow out of the façade.

The masks come off and reveal the fraud.

We discover that beyond the minds control.

Is a light inside that is our true soul.

We discover that what had been hidden inside.

Comes forth and refuses to continue to hide.

It shines a light on all our fears.

It forces us to accept and surrender our tears.

We now are in the hands of a force greater than us.

We realize that we cannot manipulate or discuss.

Because as life began and we became a star in the sky.

There will be a moment that all of us too will die.

While some will tremble at the end and cower in fear.

On the other side is everything we hold so dear.

So, when the tides shift, and this life begins to ebb.

Don’t hang on because life is a cobweb.

It is strong for moments and yet it will fly away.

And eventually, we will not be able to stay.

All the love we shared will call us back home.

And into the light we will forever roam.
