ANONYMOUS
Special to The Leader
I made it out
Adrift in the ocean
The waves are calm
I always wait
For the inevitable crash
Drenched
Gasping for air
The calm
Deceiving
Leading to
Just
Another
Crash
A tsunami
Sweeping me up
Drowning me
Pushing me under
Forcing me to stay
Breathless
But I made it out
Treading water
Gasping
Sputtering
A calm sea surrounds me
I brace
Waiting
Watching
For the next wave
But the sea remains calm
And I have suddenly found the shore
I swim
Ready to feel the sand
And sun
And his warmth
I suddenly stand
Free of the waves
I see you
Please
Swim
Swim towards me
I am free of the waves
And I will help you find your way back to the shore
