Open Water

You dazzled me

You beckoned me with trust

Still and safe

I tested the waters 

Took a dive

Waters ever flowing

Ever changing

I swam far 

Then the clouds turned grey

The storm approached

I felt my limbs paralyze with fear

They would not move

Where were you

You must have sensed the change in the winds

I turned to look for you

You were gone

Here lied the proof

My fear of open water.
