Life can be a struggle. Sometimes, you have to give yourself over to the tide.

~Dani G.

Drowning

Away I sink below the tide
To silence all the storms above
And there I find serenity--
Slipped far beneath the depths of love.

The eyes that judged are darkened here
Their gaze cannot condemn my peace--
Below the waves I better breathe
Than where the air permits disease.

My body floats and falls so slow
That time cannot impede my thought—
Releasing nets of woe and pain
In which my hope and dreams are caught.

Although the current can be rough
And move me to and fro with haste--
I’d rather sink in Neptune’s arms
Than yield the human race my fate.

~Danielle Grace
