Treading Water

Back and forth on the tides of time,

Washed ashore only to be sucked back out by the undertow,

Past and present

Future, past

Rushing ahead full speed with the riptide

Left behind in the deep,

Treading water.

Life`s woes like a shark beneath my feet.

Arms so tired…

I cannot speak

Treading water

by me, Tanya Lee (2009)
