Water
washing away
everything you thought you were.

What will remain
when everything that is
not you
-just a temporary shell-
is washed away?

Can you stand
to be so shellless
your raw, naked self
tossed through the currents?

Or will you rather collect
new detritus
forming a new shell
to dress your self in?
This is my entry for the monthly challenge of #Dreamers-Welcome this months theme is Water.
To the challenge description: fav.me/d67hkwp
You can see all the other lovely entries here: dreamers-welcome.deviantart.co…

Now that I reconsider it I think this was also subconsciously inspired by No man is an island by *0hgravity
I even stole a word (shelless)! :blushes: If you do not know No man is an island yet, please go there, read it, fav it. To me it is one of the most beautiful poems ever.

Water  is not your element?
Try one of those then:
Earth
Fire
Air (aka Wind)
