angry waves tossed me about
they wouldn't let me go of their grasp
they clung onto my skin
dragging me under the turmoil
i was pulled down further
opening my eyes to an unexpected beauty
i looked up at the surface
the moon beams reaching past the outraged waves
filling up the water with light
it was silent and
b r e a t h  t a k i n g
and as the salty sea stole my lungs
i saw that the water wasn't killing me
it was saving me from so much more.
