The wind picked up
and the rising wave
came towards me.
I held my breath,
fell to my knees
and let the water wash over me.
I was dragged
through the sand,
pulled by the currents.
Tossed my the tides,
I couldn't find my footing
as the ground shifted.
I thought I would drown,
but you gave me the strength
to find my way back to shore.
I had drifted away from you,
but you reached your hand
and calmed the seas within.
