going down

this boat is taking on water, but it doesn’t have me in a fix

i’ve tried to bale it out before but it just springs more leaks

i know i shouldn’t take it out but so often i forget, and find myself

once again in the middle of the lake wondering if i should just let her sink

jump in and start to swim

then i hear a voice, seems it is very close to me……………..

”all you can see is what you can see, i have a broader view and i can do things that you would think,

are impossible to do, so pick up the pail and limp back to shore and i will show you what needs to be plugged,

trouble is you are not seeing clear because your mind has got in the way, let it dry out and i will show you how to get it back in shape”
