my desperation stalls me
each move a fighting chance to see
through veils of burning water
dark seas envelope me

breaking waves upon the sodden sand
holding me down as I reach
grasping for a quickly fading land
enshrouding me

push through a liquid sand dune
soft stones to bury me in sleep
echoes a distant savior
of shells and living things

breaking waves upon the sodden sand
holding me down as I reach
grasping for a quickly fading land
enshrouding me

painting the sky with silver
colors have faded slow in grey
touch down in distant waters and you are touch me

bring the slow breath I bear
to one last man to see me through
this is a broken wave to carry you

breaking waves upon the sodden sand
holding me down as I reach
grasping for a quickly fading land
enshrouding me....

ah....
