I'm frightened of becoming lost
in this ocean of change.
I feel young,
and vulnerable
as the waves crash into me,
pulling me into the unknown.
I try to paddle
against the current of time,
to go back to what was.
The familiar.
Little comforts-
rafts in the endless sea-
support me,
lift me,
so I don't sink
while I'm learning to swim alone.
