Uncharted Waters
Uncharted Waters
Wading in your shallow I see clearly what is there as I sidestep small pebbles without surprise Inviting, gentle and warm Safe It is when I venture into the deep A pool of uncharted waters I find myself in danger Below the surface in the blackness riptides and dangerous currents pull me in opposing directions Confusing and taking breath I hit rocks with flailing legs Left bloodied and bruised Out of my depth I cannot survive the unknown and your tide consumes me Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Image by Engin Akyurt from Pixabay
Deep
Deep
What you see is what you get
The waters are not that deep
They are transparent and calm
And could lull you to sleep
What is visible on the surface
Is reflected directly below
Nothing is hidden from view
Nor veiled to deceive or shadow
Still waters and calm seas
So you may navigate easily
No blind spots to fool you
Or dangers lurking deceitfully
She has charted your course
You may set sail from the docks
Come to me, sings the siren
Guiding you to the rocks

In response to Sue Vincent's Thursday Photo Prompt - Beneath
Lagging
Lagging
Tiredness came swiftly
Smothering
Laying heavy on my eyes
and limbs
Suppressing efforts of revival
A deep state
Encompassing
Feeling grubby and unclean
Exhausting
Succumbing to sleep
Dramatic and deep
Eccentric Dreams
Teasing
Body failing to adjust
Confusing
Brightness of mind
Wins over darkness of night
Fully awake
Rejuvenating
Mind now alert
Conflicting
Energy is lowered
Limbs cannot move
Mind is willing but flesh is weak
Frustrating
