The Waves

away from everyone,
away from herself perhaps
she stood.
close to the dark sea
close to its absorbing blue
she stood.
she thought, she pondered
she wondered
whether ever she could be swished away
amongst the green-white waves
whether she could just be
engulfed in the waves
or should she struggle?
should she fight for a weak life?
could she wage a battle against the strength of the sea?
she saw herself in a vision
of battling and swimming
she was sputtering and gasping
she couldn't move
the waves were too strong.
she was pulled to the murky depths of the sea
was that her rightful place?
what if she kept her warring speed?
what if she decided to keep on
till she reached the secure shore?
....what if she was no more by the time she reached the shore?
