The Approach
With the rain came the flood
Drowning for more than 40 days
So your back stroke got tired
Wrapped up in memory lane
Your restless mind was occupied
Lingering on prepositions that left you hanging
With nowhere to go except to waiting
So you tried to rewind time
With voicemails and old letters
That pushed you to relapse
Until you were stuck beyond the brink
Between a giant rock and yesterdays
Up and over, beyond the top to fall
When the leaves fell and minutes reversed
You welcomed the flames and everything is alright…
Clarity approached you as the water evaporated
