"if we fall " writer's island #26 emerge



If I am emerged into the abyss
Can they rescue me from drowning
Egressed into the silence with no-one,
to speak with or hold

As the sun forms wrinkles on my eyes
I stave off adversary with a smile
I have burst … triumphant
While you swelter in your ira

If you are emerged with your idiosyncrasy
Nowhere to go,
and fall into the abyss
Can I catch you before you drown

Only the angels will answer

    It is going deep that we find those answers.
    Nicely done.

    Good questions and I agree with Anthony, although it is often scary, going deep does allow for some of those answers to be found.

    it is hard to save someone if you yourself are drowning or you lose yourself in someone else drowning... it is an interesting prospect that angels would be guarding us all though us are unawares... love how you pass through life with wrinkles from the sun and triumph with a smile... dripping gray
