Where Great Whites
have killed 2, I hear
And 5 were crushed to death
On that very beach,
I was almost swamped
in that tide line lost my breath
A wave came in
a crazy wave
and filled my boots with sand
The pull was mighty from the sea
which didn’t feel too grand
To felt myself sink rapidly
It Shocked me to the core
I had pulled myself back from the brink
I had kind of won the war
I clambered up the sand
I did
Happy to be free
Heart’thumping I was walking
In dry sand earnestly
The sea had felt wet, and frightening
Thank God I had the power
To find my own reality
Wthin what was the now
