The perpetual pursuit for an unattainable freedom

The softness of the water

silk spun when touched

Gentle and lush

And to innocent eyes,

It seems like not a disguise

But a warm hand to hold

Not full of lies.


So the innocent girl,

With a wind ridden mind

steps into the water,

to see what she’ll find

But the water isn’t still

its not timid or tame

She stepped into the water

and was never the same


Like claws the current grabbed her feet

dragging her into the dark watery deep

She grabbed at the sand she once walked upon

But it too was so fragile,

And like her it was gone.
