Catch up

Quietly staring out into the depths,
The world around me is silent except
for the splash of my lure after I cast,
Sinking out of sight like dreams from the past.

Wishing I could say I knew my purpose,
It remains unknown under the surface,
Lurking beneath me and just out of reach,
I realize there’s much more than I can see.

Time passes by as I wander the shore,
Fishing as I’m wishing for something more
than this life and all that I have become,
Waiting like a worm for a fish to come.

Suddenly I feel a tug at the line,
It begins to feel much stronger in time,
I give it my all but cannot reel in,
What is pulling me down from the line’s end.
