Good Morning

We are still here

We are the rubble risen 

Let’s reintroduce our feet

to the cold floor below our bed 

Take in a breath 

Make a resolution in the chaos 

We will not spend so much

time treading water

trying to keep our 

head above the waves

We forget how much 

we have always loved to swim
