Deep WaterA Poem by Kimberly Miller
Deep Water
I take my first step in unknowingly Its cold velvety feel sends a shiver down my spine At first it feels like nothing to me Yet unaware I slowly am entwined Further in, I tread, though why I do not know It scares me but my mind is somehow numb It doesn't call to me, like a foe But instead I fear it, knowing what is to come I have no power to fight it It consumes me, all and whole Not in large amounts but bit by bit Yet it knows my every thought, unraveling me like a scroll Now I'm too far in to turn around The waters envelope my being No more to find solid ground No more of freely seeing I'm drowning, I feel it, there is no hope The water rises to my neck Does anyone bother to throw a rope Can I survive this mental shipwreck The wet hands lap over my head I know this is the end I come face to face with this dread This be how my last moment spend This type of fear is fateful It delievers a swift and blunt verdict To have conquered it, I would be grateful This wisdom does my mind afflict But through it all, do this I know While in the midst of deep water Or at your lowest of low There is One who will save me from this slaughter He knows of my worries, frets and fears But He does much more than that He comforts and dries my tears Willingly ready to listen to my forlorn chat
So take heart and lift your hands And call on Him who rescues He eagerly awaits to stop and stand And remove the waves from you
