Cold Water, Warm Bodies
Cold water, warm bodies
Cold water, warm bodies
that morning
upon the lake
where
struggles
challenges
sacrifices
were discussed
revealing
our
weight of life
hurt
loss
frustration
seen clearly
as
the sun rose
across
mist
Cold water, warm bodies
is this
what it all
is
in the end?
existing to
carrying
such
burdens?
we
have to
though
we
carry
we carry
each other
when we can
we carry
weight
of everything
we do
bricks
tied
to ankles
as you swim
above the water’s
deep
bed
it’s difficult work
Like breaking down a wedding
the festivities
celebrations
still ringing
across the water –
now
someone has
a second life vested
to them
They are
all set
the rest of us
will
continually
try
to keep the head afloat
nothing
but
cold water, warm bodies
Cold water, warm bodies
