Push and Pull
February 6, 2020
Push and pull, push and pull.
I let myself go to the push and pull.
Outside of this space, I am forced every direction,
Tugged and shoved until I can’t find up,
Can’t reach the surface to breathe.
But here, in the unending waves,
All I am is the push and pull.
I push against the waves
Push myself forward
Even as they push right back.
I pull a steady rhythm,
An unending dance of synchrony
With the water pulling me along; the perfect partner.
Later, I will go back to countless directions
Responsibilities
Expectations
But here, in the water, I swim away from it all
And let myself go to the push and pull,
Push and pull,
Push and pull.
