Write in the park Day 09
I see water all around me
a few deep breaths I take
as ripples glisten brightly in the sun
I put my best foot forward
and trudge across the lake
hesitant footsteps plodding one by one
I'm floating away slowly
yet I'm firmly on my feet
along the crooked path I make my way
I'm sinking underneath
yet dry surface do I meet
for all the time above the lake I stay
I'm walking on water
but I'm really on the ground
unhurriedly along the bridge I tread
I'm in peril of the deep
yet I am safe and sound -
to walk on water I am not afraid
