Elemental
I could have jumped from below
like the others did
but I wanted to show I was braver,
more daring than them.
And I did it!
Scaled the heights
to plumb the depths
and then surfaced free!
Free as a fish!
In my element.
We all were
as the warm calm sea
seemed to welcome us.
But we found
that elementally
we were out of place,
too different to integrate,
soon we were out of time
unable to breath
the water trapped air
scrambling
to get out
get back
into our own element.
But with no right of return
and no right to remain,
for some of us the only way was down.
And, as so many have found before,
however high the starting post,
however brave or daring,
sometimes there’s no way back at all.
