Treading water
so calm and peaceful
tranquil water
rising
falling
rising
falling
as if the water was flowing
to the tempo of my heart
inhale
exhale
my tranquil waters are disrupted
something is not right
the water slides past my ears
suddenly
I am jostled out of my daydream
the ripples turn into waves
they want to engulf me
feel me tumble in their depth
and feel me gasp for
breath
