Will I overcome
My fear of drowning
Almost out of breath
Beneath the surface?
Focused only on
That big gulp of air
With my lungs
Burning in desperation
Panic soon sets in
But then a smooth
And quick transition
I guess is the most
Fitting description
I can offer you
As the peace
And resignation
Wash over me when
Warm love and white light
Flow in, through and out of me
With a crystal clear
Conscious realization
Of heartfelt gratitude
That at least
I did not die
Of thirst
