Anchors and Air
I don’t know of anything
That I am remotely good at
And
Evidently
That includes swimming
For I
Am sinking
...
Tied to this anchor
The limb
I cannot sever
I sink
Deeper
And
Deeper
...
Beauty is found
In waves
Moments I do not fight
Breathes are granted
Not by submission
But rather
Acceptance of submersion
For
There are beautiful things
scattered amongst the dark
And
It is here
That the light appears
Most serene
And
I am found
...
I do not know of anything
That I am remotely good at
But
I’ll be damned
Before I lose sight
Of the light
That I am remotely good at
And
Evidently
That includes swimming
For I
Am sinking
...
Tied to this anchor
The limb
I cannot sever
I sink
Deeper
And
Deeper
...
Beauty is found
In waves
Moments I do not fight
Breathes are granted
Not by submission
But rather
Acceptance of submersion
For
There are beautiful things
scattered amongst the dark
And
It is here
That the light appears
Most serene
And
I am found
...
I do not know of anything
That I am remotely good at
But
I’ll be damned
Before I lose sight
Of the light

Kicking for the surface can take an enormous amount of energy but we need air too much not to try. The struggle is heavy in this piece but the fight at the end is fierce and brought me a smile. Keep kicking upward...the light will be there to greet you. :-)

i really like this . i can see how much you are sinking , but then i also see how acceptance of this place helps to bring you light.
''Breathes are granted

sometimes when we are accepting our situations it lessens the suffering .. if we are trying to fight against it , then we struggle more .. by accepting our place / our situation / our feelings there probably is more chance of seeing the light !
a nicely expressed piece of writing.. and i love these lines
There are beautiful things

That the light appears
Most serene
And
I am found
like stars found in a dark evenings sky ...
