On An Early Lesson

I learned the way to do it when I was five or six,
Standing with my feet burning in the sand
Wanting to enjoy the water, fearing its cold embrace.
Now that my life has burned to embers at my feet,
I yearn for that one last relief,
And yet I am so fearful of the chill
I cannot take that running start and dive.
