Into Dark Waters

I do not need the burden

Of worry and of doubt

Hanging over my head

Casting shadows from above

I keep wanting to believe

In something that may never be

The one thing I have little faith in

Unfortunately is me

There seems to be many mountains to climb

So much to do

Never enough time

To even contemplate this era

Of holding your breath and diving

Into dark waters

Holding out your hands

To break the surface

To alert you to change your course

If there is trouble underneath

So much for the wishing

That the work might somehow

Get itself done for you

The path has not yet been created

Like tall grass that has not been trampled

The earth has not been worn away

By footsteps of those who are unaware

Of those who have passed before them
