She stands out at the sea's shore.
where water eddies and torrents,
and farther than can be seen for
she can feel the deadly currents.

Clouds gather above her head,
and water rains, striking the sand.
Though can't pull her to the seabed,
lessens her grip upon the land.

She remembers how it felt then
to be truly lost out in the seas
tossed around and shaken; sunk.
Struggling, reaching, just to breathe

The light around starts to fade,
it must be reaching day's end.
pressure builds in her chest,
just needs to cry again.

She'll leave thereafter; right
after resting a short while.
She feels the sand again,
and there she stays awhile.
Inspired by fall down, never get back up again by La Dispute
