My hand was dipped into the water as I sailed into the unknown.
It gave me a sense of peace while drifting through the waters. A slave to my own ship in an ocean full of loneliness. I was existing, I could breath, and see, and hear, But none of my senses could absorb any purpose to the question 'why'. I simply existed, and felt, and thought, But like all the sailors lost at sea, I was alive but I didn't have life. A voice was calling me from beyond the surface of the deep, But I could not see through the ripples. "Dive in head first and you will be free". The voice spoke deeply and clearly, As if it had known me and who I was. I was afraid. The voice was elevated, "Trust me". My fear was suddenly married to confusion. How could I trust a voice that had no face, And why would I leave the one thing I believed was keeping me alive. "Leave it all behind", The voice seamed to know my thoughts. "Who are you?", I asked. And in response, "I am that I am". I didn't know how to respond, But for some reason I was intrigued by the idea of something beyond my understanding. "What will happen if I trust you, what will happen if I surrender my ways?", I asked. "I will give you life", the voice pleaded. The tone and volume was sprung with passion and confidence, that seamed to bring hope into my eyes. I stood up. The intensity of this decision had me on my toes, For I felt awoken by the idea to become alive. It all seamed too good to be true, What if I were to dive in and get swallowed up, I thought. "Do not doubt, for I tell you the truth", the voice said, responding to my troubled mind. And with all the courage I had, I took a leap of faith, Broke through the surface, Into the light, And my mind was opened. I came into the air, I opened my lungs And became free! I had been oblivious to the truth that I was ship wrecked, And was slowly drowning, In my own foolish plans for my survival. Carter Chase September 1st 2017
