Mission Renewed

I

Waves follow waves…
hit us
make us float
drown
and
again
throw
us
up
on their crest
and
we
try
to
clutch
the air, as if
to pull us out
of…
that sinking feeling
that choking sensation
where you find it
difficult (even)
to
breathe…

II

I
stand
still at the shore of
TIME
close my eyes
and take a deep
‘breath’

faces float in…
then
they float out
as life ‘fades in’
and death ‘fades out’…

III

I take a deep
breath
again
and
think
of
You!

IV

Life
renews
its
MISSION!
