A moment of solace
Destroyed by the sea,
It's pulling me under,
I cannot break free.
I cling to the boat,
My grip starts to fade—
The storm rages louder,
It’s time to be brave.
A torrent of water,
Crushing my chest,
Pinning my body,
Stricken of breath.
My mind is a storm,
Fear pulls me deep—
I watch as the shadows
Swallow my sleep.
I hear my name
As you call for me,
You settle the noise,
The storms and the sea.
All light disappears,
My vision is blurred—
A violent squall
Is all that’s heard.
Then—a faint whisper,
A break in the roar,
Your voice finds me
As I reach for the shore.
