Objects of light moving around me
Staring deep into the moving, dark water
I see the laughter from passing travelers exploring
I see the movement of ones who embraced the water
O!…Did this boat move? ..Standing up to see…
“No…..I should not step outside this safety”

This poem is like a “wake up” call. Sometimes we can find ourselves watching everyone around us live their lives and we stop living ours. Stepping outside our comfort zone (aka safety) opens our eyes to a whole different perspective about our lives. We need to open our eyes to how we can gain the most out of our lives. Don’t be afraid to get out of the boat.
