9/29/11

***What do you think Folks? This came to me as I tried to fall asleep last night. My muse must have finally woken;). I think she's been getting ready to hibernate for winter-- a tad prematurely;)***

Skinned knees,
I fell trying to help you up
Blinded by love
I didn't realize the only one bleeding
was me

Breathless,
from the chase
I slowed my pace
Long enough to notice
The Loti were submerged

Drowning,
Their frailty called me
And I waded in deeper for the rescue
momentarily forgetting my inability to swim

Courage,
that didn't last long
Your honesty reminding me
Before the water surpassed my chin

Grateful nonetheless,
Because my scars now tell the story
of the shallow ocean
