Playing in puddles
Not so deep
Having fun
Beating the heat
There’s one puddle
That out of the blue
Stops you dead
In your tracks
Electrifying you
Stinging you
Like a jellyfish
Don’t see it coming
This wasn’t pure bliss
This is life
You  just never know
Which puddles
Are poisoned
Sending shock waves
Directly at your heart
Like a shark bite
Leaving it’s mark
Of the battle wombs
We all encounter
Leaving us with scars
And our stories to tell...
