177
As a young man
I took a chance
to step outside of time
and I’ve been here ever since
Watching life go by
from this riverside
I nod and smile
and wonder why
the tides feels uninviting
Sink or swim
if I jump in
I’ll loose my place
in nowhere
And all I’ve seen
behind the screen
will wash away
completely
What loss do I gain
and how different the pain
if I take a few steps forward
I’ll never know
from beside the flow,
I must let go to learn it
