A New Way
 

It comes as a slipping,
A draw, like a gentle tide.
When at first, ankle deep, a playful welcome;
Now enveloped, this ocean's might revealed.

Only an instant stands for retreat,
The familiar shore beckons...
I will not turn back.
The drudgery of that known land
will not sway this mate again.
Carry me, strange new swell,
An untold voyage do I crave.
Of mishap and blessing,
calamity and fortune.
A new way, in any case.
