How to Let Go

"How deep is a lake

If it goes on forever?"

You ask me as

We tire swing over

Crater Lake,

Our feet painting the waters

A crisscross of ripples,

Too afraid to let go,

Release our hold and dive

Down
Down

Down

For fear  of never resurfacing.

I do not know

And I wish to never

Know

The answer to such questions,

So I keep quiet

And speculate as

You loosen your grip

And fall back,

Letting the depthless

Water

Catch your fall

To find out for

Yourself.
For ~ellzbot11, who wanted a poem about a lake.

Critiques/questions are nice.
