The wave, I understand so late, rumbles and looms larger than expected. I wade forward in surrender. Waiting. Drawing closer, the tow low and powerful, I know that the shore is no longer attainable. As the crest nears, I see in it things I am not prepared to face.... Regret, Sadness and Fear all churn violently as I seek passage. Rise. Float. I wait silently and accept. I long to float above into forgotten still waters, peaceful currents. The wave presses me close. I feel its chilling power and succumb. I remember. Agonize over choices made and consequences realized. Rise. Float. Dream of still water and peaceful currents. Swim.

Wave
The wave, I understand so late, rumbles and looms larger than expected. I wade forward in surrender. Waiting. Drawing closer, the tow low and powerful, I know that the shore is no longer attainable. As the crest nears, I see in it things I am not prepared to face.... Regret, Sadness and Fear all churn violently as I seek passage. Rise. Float. I wait silently and accept. I long to float above into forgotten still waters, peaceful currents. The wave presses me close. I feel its chilling power and succumb. I remember. Agonize over choices made and consequences realized. Rise. Float. Dream of still water and peaceful currents. Swim.
