Drowning,
Sinking,
Pockets of air
Disappearing.
Sinking,
Further and further into
The deep cold sea.
Light darkens
Inhaling ocean salt,
Everything burns,
her insides are screaming,
Pleading to be let go,
Frantic antics,
Jerking,
Trying to stay,
Her gaze glosses over,
Tranquility is where she is.
The roaring ocean
Now silent.
Currents bringing her
Back to the briny air.
Her once olive face,
Now pale.
Frosted lips,
Lifeless eyes,
Limp features.
The pain is gone,
Overcome with peace
She gets to rest,
Floating along
The currents of the sea.
