Skimming the Surface

Languid circles leaving me

from fingertip to shore of beach.

They spread across so evenly,

skim the surface that is me.

I'm more than just a wave reflection

flesh and bone I fear rejection

coming near I use projection

shell of me you see

For I am more than reaches shore

more than you will see

I am here in dedication

to what life ought to be.

Dream of dreams complete my thoughts

as "what ifs" choose to linger

World will fill so well, complete

with all you choose to bring here.

Who am I for you to know?

Skim the surface as you go.

Oar go deeply as you row

deeper still, to know me.

Thank you Marcus.

love the double meaning of "oar"---clever.

this analogy works all the way through...it is creative....if you really get to know me more deeply....maybe i will be more than you expected....and maybe you will not only understand me, but maybe love me too.
