Diver

Take the dive
and in seconds something in you arrives
to a conclusion
or maybe a better beginning
but sometimes we're outdone
by the confusion that living brings

Let's take with us the day
and the truth in words we say
to describe the indescribable
chart the unbelievable
in our lives as normal as can be
let's take a dive into the endless sea
as far as the heart can see

Take the dive
and somewhere inside your old life
of sorrow and rain
a new being rises up and out
just roll against the grain
and you'll shake the seeds of doubt

Let's take with us the day
lose the lies that stand in our way
on the journey of discovery
the sky couldn't be more lovely
tonight

Take the dive
and in darkest times you scratch to survive
and in delusion
can’t tell an ending from a beginning
still we are all outdone
by the confusion that living brings

Love this, nicely done.

There's beautiful sentiment in that image. We can be made better through hardships and pain...or we can be made worse. One thing for sure, we are made different by them, but it is up to us to choose the direction of change.

great write.
