You dance around it on tiptoe <br />Skimming the surface <br />Ever so shallow <br />When will you take the plunge <br />When will you sink and drown <br />When will you get to the bottom <br />where you know it can be found <br /> <br />Only then can you re-surface <br />Struggling to come up <br />Gasping for air <br />Knowing you care <br />Desperate to win back <br />Your life <br />Finally undestanding <br />The night <br />Finally knowing <br />You want to survive <br />Desperate for light <br />Which you now search for <br />With a new pair of eyes<br /><br />Sonya Florentino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-vision-8/
