Contemplating a Plunge

It's so blue, this water.
Standing at its edge, loosely wrapped in terrycloth,
A little breeze chills me in my current place.

It's warm enough on my toe.
Gently swirling eddies mark its wake.
A little puddle marks my toe's current place.

It's looks so refreshing, this water.
I long to be enveloped, slick and clean, in its crystalline depths.
A little dip might rescue me from my current place.

It's so boundless, this water.
Immersed, I'll lose my sense of what is up and  down, left and right.
A little fear keeps me frozen in my current place.

Don't rush me, I'm slow.
Don't push me, I'll go.
Don't worry, I know.
Thinking doesn't make it so.
Only in going will I grow.
