ONE TOE IN THE OCEAN

ONE TOE IN THE OCEAN

Stepping into my death
I walk through the forgetting
And leave myself behind
Savouring an aroma of relief
While shrugging off
The burden of my years

But patters of fear
Walk by my side
Imploring me to take back
All my dear false friends

And how can I resist

Maybe I'll choose to take the plunge another day
Or maybe I'll wait until I'm pushed and have no say.
