Tread the Water

Do you sink of float when you've forgotten how to paddle

Tread the water

Keep from slipping under

For always it's been default

Set to autopilot

Instinct


It's not instinctive anymore


I've seen it from the other side and now I get it

I feel what they do

I don't see it too

Caught in a confusion current

Spiralling waves

Here's another


Get me back to the warmth of the shore


Am I floating away or treading the water

I can't feel the floor

Got to find the hidden door

I don't belong in this sea

Reopen my eyes

Pull me home


This I can't forget and

Then I can't remember


Tread on

Head still kept above the water
