Into The Waters
REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE KIDS
WE WOULD RUN UNTIL WE DROPPED
FORGING TRAILS LIKE INDIANS
ON THE SHORES OF MICHIGAN
WE HUNG FROM TREES AND CLIFFS
RAN PAST THE SANDY DUNES
FISH SKELETONS AND ROCKS...
INTO THE WATERS
WHEN WATER'S TEMP WAS 59
WE WOULD GATHER IN A LINE
COUNT TO 10 AND RUN RIGHT IN
OUR HEADS WOULD ACHE WITH PAIN
LIPS WERE BLUE BODIES FROZEN
THEN WE'D DO IT ONCE AGAIN
FALL WINTER SPRING AND THEN...
INTO THE WATERS
THEN WHEN WE WERE TEENS
WE WOULD RIDE OUR BIKES FOR MILES
IN THE SAND PLAYED TRUTH OR DARE
PARTIED RECKLESS HAD NO FEARS
OF WHO WE'D BE WHEN WE GREW UP
IF WE COULD FIND OUT WHAT WE LOVE
18, 21 AND THEN...
INTO THE WATERS
WHEN WATERS TEMP WAS 63

WEEKDAYS SUMMERS WE WERE FREE
CLIMBING OLD PIERS SCAFFOLDING
SWEAT POURING, SUN BURNING
4 INCH WIDE RUSTY IRON
15 FEET HIGH UP WE WOULD CLING
COUNT TO 3 WITH EYES CLOSING...
INTO THE WATERS
NOW THAT WE ALL ARE GROWN
LAPTOPS AND TEXTING ON OUR PHONES
AMERICAN DREAMS WE KEEP ON BUYING
MAKING IT HARD TO FIND DOWN TIME
WE HANG LIKE TREES ON CLIFFS
WATCHING HOW QUICK THE SANDS CAN SHIFT
ONE BY ONE WE ALL WILL DRIFT...
INTO THE WATERS
WHEN WATERS TEMP TURNS 68
BY THE SEASHORE WE WILL WADE
DIP OUR FEET AND THEN OUR KNEES
WE AVOID THE SUDDEN FREEZE
COVERED BODIES WITH SUNSCREEN
RECALLING LAZY SUMMER SCENES
JUST KEEP FOLLOWING THE BREEZE...
INTO THE WATERS
