i am a single spot of land
amidst the moving water
rivers rushing past me
colliding with seas and oceans

i watch as others flow past me,
some move with confidence
looking forward, their head above the waves
directing the path they desire.
some float with the current
uncaring where it leads them
many are swept under, tides beating against them
some do not resurface.

i wish to feel the pulse of the water
moving forward
floating almost like falling,
rushing, adrenaline and
anticipation
walk to the edge of the sea
and stare as she goes by
my spot of land is small, secure
but i cannot lift my feet from its earth
i can only sit and watch
as the water passes by
