my desperation stalls me
each move a fighting chance to see
through veils of burning water
dark seas envelope me
breaking waves upon the sodden sand
holding me down as I reach
grasping for a quickly fading land
enshrouding me
push through a liquid sand dune
soft stones to bury me in sleep
echoes a distant savior
of shells and living things
breaking waves upon the sodden sand
holding me down as I reach
grasping for a quickly fading land
enshrouding me
painting the sky with silver
colors have faded slow in grey
touch down in distant waters and you are touch me
bring the slow breath I bear
to one last man to see me through
this is a broken wave to carry you
breaking waves upon the sodden sand
holding me down as I reach
grasping for a quickly fading land
enshrouding me....
ah....
