Spiral

In the river of life I swim

Against the current,

I swim with the current.

I lie on my back and allow the river to take me.

I enjoy the sun on my body and the sparkles all around.

I am taken by the spiral,

Down into the belly of the river,

I lose myself.

I am shaken, I am broken, I die.

Then I am spit out by her and I’m bobbing around,

Trying to decide,

Whether or not to swim against the tide.
