The tide rises and the waves crash and crash and crash. Each impact takes away breath and pulls deep into the darkness of the ocean.

The ocean envelops with cold darkness. The struggle for the shore is displaced by the struggle for air. Panic is displaced by hopelessness.

Just before the last breath escapes, the tide falls and the waves recede.

Breathe and wait for the next wave.
