Swim or Sink.

The undercurrent betrays my might.

Ferocious waves that quell my fight.

Storm clouds obscure and drown my sight.

Until when?

Until then.

When I forfeit what's right.

Then, hush.

It all stops.

Fingers reaching for light.

Slip slowly.

And unseen.

Into seas dark as night.

The ripples erased.

Leaving nary a trace.

Into the deepest, most peaceful, 

safe place.
