Shore

When you finally 
step out from 
the river of
chaos and drama 
free from its 
riptides and undertows 
and onto land 
upon the shores
of the other 
side there is 
no longer desire 
to dip toes
in again for 
you have swam
your way across 
it’s only those 
who try to 
swim through that 
swallow and drown
