LIFE... swimming in fear

Tracey l Coleman 1969 (n.h.)

what do i have to do? to finally be free.  
spreading my ashes from the sand to the see.
see if you wade in , you get no rush, you are simply consumed with all that surrounds you. "like things on a shelf".
however  if you dive, it will cleanse you thoroughly of all lives debris.
Speeding ahead not feeling the wrath.
so if you had it to do all over again,
what would you do?
sink or swim?

About this poem
