FREE AT LAST


anthony-samaniego
lake bear big 

 

FREE AT LAST

Slow is the course of your waves.

Colors of the deep lie by my feet.

Your soothing laps bring me peace.

I must swim out to see whom I meet.

 

Your cold envelopes my stiff body.

Soon I am immersed in your cocoon.

I dive down deep below your surface.

I won’t be returning all too soon.

 

Trying to outrun my demons,

I swim faster from the shore.

I leave behind my enemies.

I don’t need them anymore.

 

I’m free at last from my problems

As I stroke hard away from humanity. 

No one is waiting for me back home.

I’m free to float away for eternity.

So many have done this. Me? I picture myself in a boxcar on a train going someplace I've never heard of, and taking it from there. Make sure you wear a life jacket, hon!

Love ya!
