    "The Drowning"
    'The Drowning'

    Boiling ocean
    Thundering seas
    I ride the crest
    Then drop free fall
    Into the trough
    The mountain rises
    Looming above
    Walls of water
    Crashing on me
    I cannot breathe
    The pressure builds
    Darkness edging
    Into my eyes
    My mouth opens
    A silent scream
    Water fills it
    As the vortex
    Is pulling me
    Spinning around
    The edge of life
    Ever downward
    Fingers reaching
    But life is gone
