Taking that next big step <br />Over the plank <br />Into the darker waters <br />Beyond the reaches <br />Of my family's past <br />And experience's wake <br />I sink to the bottom of time <br />And hold my breath <br />To swim my way back to freedom <br />And a new life <br />I've molted <br />Become another creature <br />Hold me fast <br />Because I'm going to fly away <br />All new experiences <br />For this granite-bolded soul.<br /><br />Denis Kucharski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/over-the-plank/
