Everytime I see the waves
I become that little kid again
I feel that fear I felt
The first time I saw the sea
Both beautiful and dangerous
As she approaches me
I take those little steps
I took the first time
Slowly making myself familiar
With the sensation of
Fear;of water
Drawing back when
The waves are gigantic
And again building up courage
Every time I promise myself
I’ll conquer the waves
I’ll conquer my fear
But it’s all in vain
Everytime I go back to the ocean
I am that little kid again
Afraid of water
Pulling back from a mother
Trying to teach her child
That the waves – though
Treacherous and unpredictable
Should be faced
Just as life – though
Uncertain and slippery
Should be lived…
