A wall of water is in front of me

Splashing my face with cold droplets

My surroundings feel so distant

The wall of water feels the closest

There is a person on the other side

Their silhouette standing in line with mine

I feel a closeness to this person on the other side

A thought reminds me of a time being on the other side

I reach my hand through to feel this person on the other side

I’m knocked down still laying on the same side

I lay with desire to reach the other side

I rise with passion

I fix my eyes on my prize

I lunge for the other side

I break through to the other side

I find myself standing with warmth inside
