Surfacing
When I’ve have been down in the depths for a while
the above is threatening
Alone in the dark is a cozy place
with my own thoughts
and my own healing
The water cradles me
breath held for just a few minutes more
Up there
under a bright sky
gravity is not my friend
demands are heavy
and plans for the future
beyond my ability
It is a brave moment
then
to leave the bottom
kick off
and bring my treasures back to solid ground
The time to come up arrives
when I feel my own strength
and desire the light on my face once more
I can take air
lay in the sun
and let the wind play a path forward
When I have been below for a while
that time comes
and it is brave enough to simply surface
