Cherry

The sea grabbed hold of me

quicker than I can swim

engulfed in foamy kisses

fizzing on my skin

a rolling weight upon me 

flattened underneath

dragged along the bottom

out of my depth

tied to the tide

another great wave

rumbled around me

onto dry land

the sea let me go.

Very astute poem, I like the metaphor of the sea engulfing you in foamy kisses, and then letting you go back on dry land.

I get scared when there isn't ground under my feet and I am actually a strong swimmer the sea doesn't care just takes you lazy easily and indifferent.

They say you have vivid hallucinations when you drown. Symphonies the second coming namit. Like near death must be the oxygen depletion. Lifesavers do a thankless job people forget you the moment they turn their back and when you've just saved their life. Well the girls like them hey?

You shouldn't mess with the sea like this! Tom

Hi Tom,

I'm not a greta swimmer. I use body boards to catch waves. Not too deep though!

I've heard that a feeling of relaxtion comes over people when they're at the point of dying in water. 

Most people have vivid NDE's. I've had one myself, but here's not the right place..

Take care. Donna.

This all sounds very interesting. You've got me curious about the OBEs and NDEs I've also had but as you say this is not the time, but the feeling of relaxation that sounds good. Eventually melting into total peace. . I am a great fan of your work.

Keep well, take care! Nolan &
