Charlotte MairWater's Edge
Standing at water's edge
weary lost soul
in a world, so hard to knowWill she test the waters of the deep?
Why does she tarry?
For the answers lay within the linesOh faith, to walk on water!
Can she not see His open arms
awaiting heart and soul
of His lost sheep?
What keeps her from the depths?
So leery†”tip-toeing
One foot in … and one held backWhen†”oh when is time?
A signal? A light? A word?
Crashing thunder?
How will she know and hear the call?
When is time just right?There she feels the dark one follow
he blinds, he beckons
he plays on all her weaknessesI pray she does hold fast†”on one foot in†”one held back
