Jotting from my Journal. Day #183 of (mostly unedited) daily writing/sharing

Between Waves

One wave after another pummels me, 
gasping for breath, treading 
water in the shallows
rather than diving deep. 

It's so scary to dive deep. 
So much can go wrong. I can't stop 
knowing this, can't stop fighting 
the current.

But, just now, between waves,
a soft voice whispers—

Love, is there really any such thing as wrong? 

Lie back in the arms of the river, 
limbs limp, no holding on, 
notice how held, 
how carried you are, 

trust me, the river knows 
the way home.
