the undercurrent pulls drawing me down to murky dark depths where sinister abounds the undercurrent pulls my body it sweeps pulling my out its anger it keeps the undercurrent draws a turbulent tempt it tumbles my heart with vehement intent the undercurrent rages But I'm sturdy and strong adept in the water for that's where I belong the undercurrent subsides I'm floating serene my eyes see the sun I still live, I still dream Eileen Manassian Reposting another deleted poem....

No both are good but I felt the emotion of the piece more in this one.
