Struggle


I am like a
small silhouette
staring out 
at sea,
unknown splendor
just beyond
the vastness.

I run in
swim
but salty coldness
sprays
slaps
stings,
wild waves
like arms
menacing
shove me back
on shore
and I sit,
exhausted
sodden
as yet again
I stare.

Oh, but the
splendor!
Squinting, I can
almost
see it.
And so again
I run in.
