Poem Title:
Poem
I find myself in the middle of an ocean Lighting, rain and waves crashing No land in sight No refuge in sight No beacon to point me home I struggle to stay afloat The water so cold and black How did I get here? Where do I go? What can I do? Frantically I search I look all around But there’s nowhere to turn I shout with all I have But there’s no one to hear The storm is relentless The waves continue to roll and splash Trying to shove me under I can taste the saltiness of the water As a wave catches me Slaps me in the face The water burning my eyes Blurring my vision Making me panic Making me want to fight harder To keep my head above water But my legs are growing weary My arms are starting to tire out My feet are like cement My breath ragged and fatigued As the rain beats down I cry out again in desperation As I start to sink Down to a watery grave Into the depths below The water so icy and wet In my mouth Down my throat Burning in my lungs Fully submerged now I look up at the surface And I see hope I see refuge I see a hand Reaching down to me Tightly grasping me Pulling me against the force That’s pulling me under My head breaks the surface My eyes open wide As I gulp in the air Pulled free and rescued Not a moment too soon Not a moment too late
