You Walk, I Swim...

You Walk, I Swim

You walk,

Steady, measured, firm.

I swim,

Drifting, shifting, free.

You have steps,

A path laid in stone.

I am a wave,

Restless, untamed, unknown.

You can stop,

Pause, breathe, decide.

I must flow,

No stillness, no guide.

You want me to control,

To shape, to bend.

But I won’t—

I am ocean, not land.
