Friday, June 19, 2009 drowning

She struggled to hold on,
Her eyes glazing over,
Breath coming slowly,
And then, she was down.

Blue was everywhere,
Once her release,
Choking her,
Keeping her prisoner.

Silent screams,
She grasped her neck,
Life slowly fading,
Air no longer there.

Then,
A break,
Life rushed back in,
Eyes fluttered open.

A rescue from the
Watery abyss,
Sweet sounds of concern,
Overwhelming her.

She was saved.
