361 My Fear of Drowning

361.

My Fear of Drowning



I fear physical death because I may just go…

To the turbulent stream, river, sea or ocean

Where I'll become feed to fish, mollusk or crustacean

Like Jack of Titanic who was never seen again!

To the silent pond, lake, pool or well

Where I'll dilute & dissolve trapped in a shell

Like Sadako of Japan haunting a vessel!
