Drowning

Today someone will die

Stumbling into darkness
Winded
Trembling
Defeated
A Silhouette in the night

Today someone will die
Sky and water mirror images
Sea foaming, roiling
The song of water is alluring
Predatory
Elegant

Sea turns to black
violent waves crashing against
the craggy shores
A gap in my soul opens
It is filled with water
Gust of winds in my hair
The foam is filling my lungs
They get heavier
The struggle is artful
Sweet
A blessed union
Sky, water and man
are now mirror images
Blending
Fading into darkness
Today
Someone had died
