Mornings

I stand alone in the cold darkness.
A sudden splash and I am fully submerged.
My thoughts overtake me. They flow around me like the water.
I can not escape them, they are above me and below me.
Wave like thoughts that rebound off the wall and I have no choice
but to face them.
I pull and kick through them, searching for answers,
only to come up with more questions.
Sometimes I move slowly through them, carefully analyzing.
Other times I try to charge through them but they overwhelm me.
I continue forward.
Pull, pull, kick, kick.
A revolution of body and mind and I am back at the beginning.
The answers are at the other wall. I keep going.
I have yet to reach that other wall.
