• Falling suddenly away
    From all reason and matter
    In the darkest of places, buried with the rest of the ones who’ve stumbled
    Can this be it?
    No, is the answer of the great waves that crash
    Cold and hopeful waters
    Yes, is the answer of the rushing stream splashing
    Warm and confused rapids
    How will you keep above the water?
    Will you swim
    Panicked and frantic
    Or will you sink
    Graceful and peaceful
    Now I splash and splutter in the currents
    Lost and helpless
    I’m tired and weak and unable to break the surface
    Will it be my choice
    Or is it the water that decides my fate?
