walking slowly eyes cast down
wasn't flailing-- didn't drown
all was blue that did surround
clouds like soldiers marched the sky
heat from sun there way up high
I let my breath out with a sigh
said many prayers with no replies
there was no pain, the waves recede
a perfect day on tranquil beach
rocks all smooth from ocean's leech
in my head all the thoughts preached
I heard all that you were conveying
words like so much fabric fraying
I saw the piper you were paying
and the role I was portraying
