I swum far from shore
Swept out by a tidal rush
New tropical waters
Came in over my head
Surfing through swells
Liberated from life
A tranquil paradise
Free from land and worry
But seas shift rapidly
Waves crest and crash
That once perfect ocean
Turned to rough waters
I lay there alone
Praying for a lifeboat
Isolate in the ocean
Thoughts of golden sand
The backwash came
With open arms
Embracing me back home
To the comfort of shore
