Perhaps we are meant to disturb the surface,
Disrupt the water in its dreams to send repeating waves,
Fractals of ideas and thoughts,
Altering its intentions.
For the longest time I thought we were meant to leave it be,
An untouched subject.
Maybe you see things differently;
We are supposed to go head first,
Scattering serenity and touseling tranquility,
As if we never second-guessed it.
That's what came to mind when I found this picture. Lately I have been second-guessing things, especially now that my mom has began talking to me about college... who knows. I thought the water represented the future, untouched and foreign, unable to breathe when you're surrounded, overwhelmed by it.
The trampoline is what I would like to be feeling... read the poem, I guess.
A leap, a tuck of my legs,
And I am suspended,
Frozen in the air,
Able to feel every muscle in my back,
Suddenly all too aware of the complexity
Of the human body.
Aware of this world and my place in it.
Frozen with time to think,
Without commitment.

My parents have been talking to me about college as well... I totally agree on the second-guessing things. The hard thing is that some of the time, when you're not second-guessing... Someone else is. You know what I mean? It gets really confusing and crazy.
