life
crashes in on you
like
a wave
or a room full of cymbals
to survive
you shut down
go limp
tap out
life
moves on
like
the wind
or the hands of a clock
to catch up
you run
you jump
you get back in touch

under the water line
crushing waves
of sadness
crash over me
and I am afraid
of being sucked in
by the undertow
and though
I know
this is temporary
I wonder
if this time
I won’t survive
(D. James)
