Sink Or Swim

Into the glare of sun I stare

reflected in the river's flow.

Below its surface, schools of fish,

flash silver as they dart then slow.

In forests strange which lurk beneath

while ripples oscillate and fade.

A sudden splash they're gone from sight

into the depths as dark as night.

How I wish at times when I 

feel life has sucked my marrow dry,

that I a Pisces through and through

could dive and surface as they do.

A deep and reflective piece of poetry Chris. Could really feel your heart and soul speak loudly inside this one. Beautiful done also. Thank you for sharing.
