Listen to poem:
all time stopped
ravenged* by what had gone before
a chance given to take a breath
gravity suspended
wet through to the skin
too cold for fevered dreams
reality frozen
through salt stung eyes
there, lies a glimpse of dawn
just beyond where hope could take me
in a moment calm will descend
as beneath waves I'll be carried
the gifted breath snatched from me
I still can't
can't let myself slip
despite promised endings bringing peace
it is all too much
too much
I can't stay up right
though the ask is only
to stay put
let the storm run it's course
take stock later
for what feels out of my hands
relies very much on my grip
I have this moments breath
and a glimpse of dawn
*Looks like I made up the word - hybrid of ravage and vengeful. Let's let it occur, just this once.
