Out In An Undertow


Our feet tied to opposing tides
Trod a world swept up in undertow
How to walk to wonder will we know
How to undo undue tie abides
So sweet to find ourselves for us
God knows it's been an awful fuss
Time to untie as coincides
Our feet bound to walk far insides
Are walking out to find they're know
Shod by worlds in an undertow

An intriguing piece, with an interesting rhyme scheme. I find myself musing on the notion of 'undertow', concealed yet wielding inescapable influence even once recognised. Lines 4 and 5 got my toes tapping too. Applause!
