Panic Relief
Drowning, splashing, holding breath
Concealed appearance, unknown depth
Panic stricken, silent grief
Hearing no sirens of relief
Waves of turbulence almost crushing
Adrenaline streams madly rushing
Liquid salt of the eyes, a betrayal
White flag flown, weakness’s portrayal
Slow down to drift, amid the tide
Release control, let it subside
Belief in an end, self-rescue
Breathing again, as if on cue
Head above water, tread efficiently
Swim to shore, meritoriously
Feeling secure, sand under toe
A lifetime away, from moments ago
Concealed appearance, unknown depth
Panic stricken, silent grief
Hearing no sirens of relief
Waves of turbulence almost crushing
Adrenaline streams madly rushing
Liquid salt of the eyes, a betrayal
White flag flown, weakness’s portrayal
Slow down to drift, amid the tide
Release control, let it subside
Belief in an end, self-rescue
Breathing again, as if on cue
Head above water, tread efficiently
Swim to shore, meritoriously
Feeling secure, sand under toe
A lifetime away, from moments ago
