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
