Never mind a brick, or ten

A stone is enough to sink me

or even the whisper of a stone

the wind came and when I thought

I was only beginning to fall

I realized I was already sinking

I close my eyes and feel the water close over my head

praying not for a strong push

just a light touch

even the whisper of a touch

that will send me back up before I even know I'm there.
