"The Plunge"

Fear not my blue friend
body without oxygen
held tight to depth

mind racing
one focus
reduce the panic

regain equilibrium
eyes sting from the salt
fetal position, protect neck and head
body numb from the rocks
feel the skin give into wound

release of mothers grip
full torso stretch
swim toward surface
to find sand in hands

instanteous correction
time limit creates desperation
the swim now fast, without flaw
survival has no thought but breath
the mind begins to see black

a surface puncture to mid torso
with gasp of air so grand
like the volume of earths atmosphere

the human survives
regaining control
of a powerful drug
only a surfer would know

as adrenaline

to survive a top to bottom drop

commonly known as:

"over the falls"
