Like a wave,

It comes over.

 

I struggle

Towards the shore,

The sea rising,

Bumping me up,

Down.

 

The beach seems distant,

Tiny figures walking,

Sounds drifting,

It is as if in a dream,

A known, unknown place.

 

I stop awhile,

Look to shore,

Look out to sea,

There is me,

In between.

 

To the shore

I turn again,

I swim on,

I always swim on,

… back to the shore.
