Near Death
May 18, 2010
Near Death
Surging pain on impact
A cry for help lost in the waves
Sudden darkness; all is quiet
Memories long forgotten reappear, then disappear just as fast
Awake again,
Where am I?
It all comes back; the turn, the wave, the fall, the pain
I cough up water as my dad squeezes
My head is ringing
My mom is screaming
In a daze I’m on the boat
I realize I am safe
I wonder now…
What is my purpose?
