Ali Benson Moulton
Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Floating in the ocean
In perfect peace
Except–
The bandaid on my heel
I forgot to remove,
Flapping as I swim.
Tuck it in my suit
Or rip it off and trust
The vastness of the ocean
To hide my sin?
I don’t know if it sinks or floats
As I leave it behind.
In a day (or a decade)
It won’t matter much
After all.
Five minutes later,
Swimming back to shore,
I surface.
Right in front of me–
To end this perfect swim–
A bandaid–
Not mine.
