The power is there - within.

We feel it move,

And want to rise on up

And gloriously out...

But we wait, like so many -

Spirits in a limbo of control

Upon a dry surface,

Soaking ourselves in the harsh and heady

Feel of the water.

Until the Sculpting Time can come,

When we can slip inside

To be alive,

Raise our miner's palms

Against the invisible sky

Or drown on the outside.
