Always beyond my reach Almost there, but not quite The agony of almost So close, so very close But not quite The stagnant pool of water Craving to reach the shore Nightmare swim to nowhere The land that can't be reached Closer, nearer, with every stroke Exhausted but driven to the edge The vision of sand just ahead Desire to touch the sparkling shore The acid water burning my skin The stench of rancid liquid Lashing my body endlessly Wave after wave, writhing my way Stroke after endless stroke Always needing, never succeeding The mystic magical shore forevermore. .... |
