Walking On Water

Rippling currents of water in multiple shades of blue

I tried walking on water 
But like the Titanic, I sank
Sailing under the ancient ocean 
I felt solemnly sympathetic 

I tried flying without wings 
And like a stone, I fell 
Lying flat on the ground  
I saw a cross made of bones.  

I tried to travel to space 
But I couldn’t find the Causeway 
Floating among the stars 
I heard my angel beg, “Please show me the way”
