Dive In

A poem about taking a leap

I watched the waves

Their touch is what my body craves

So I waited for them to reach me

The ocean ebbs and it flows

It comes and it goes

But never did it reach me

I sat there for years

Through sweat, sand and tears

Waiting for the water to touch me

Despite all my fears

Though the suns rays left sears

I was desperate for the water to touch me

Finally one day

I looked around where I lay

And realized maybe I could change

I stood up and walked

I felt the touch and balked

All these years I just needed to change

A few small steps away

Is where all my dreams lay

All that time waiting to realize my dreams

Now I dive in and submerge

And out I come, I emerge

Anew, refreshed, realizing my dreams.
