Latent Leaving
Life touches both shores
That lap at the isthmus of living;
Water before
Water after
Water evermore -
We walk
The penninsula of life
From one end to the other
Afraid of getting wet,
Never realizing how much we'd love to swim -
Yet at the very end
We shall all wade in
Discovering the deeper we go...
We become the water,
We are the flow -
Turning with one last gaze before we part
We reach out to the sandy shore
Writing 'Goodbye' upon the beach of time,
Forever there, next to the name
We leave behind -
