I Know Now
Questioning~
Wondering~
Wonder of faith? ~
Wonder of enough faith? ~
How do I know?
Sunny sultry drive~
A winding bending road.
Swerving intentional stop~
At the opened half moon off the path~
A scooped out safe niche~
And that was that.
All piled out~
I usual last to unload.
Over seeing~
A top a steep downward~
Beach dusted drifting hill.
Further an ocean swayed~
Out-stretched as a rolling blue pearl.
Ahead they rambled~
Hastily scattering~
Quickly to out skirts~
Of a soggy tanned shore.
I looked to see~
Their bodies~
Already bobbing~
As round bobbins~
So relaxed and cheery.
They a-top deceptiveness~
With an unannounced~
Questionable danger~
In the turquoise sea.
Oh~
I yearned to be~
Where they be!
To be joined~
In their~
Gleeful camaraderie!
Waves! ~
Large! ~
Warning! ~
Most certainly could~
Over take!
Hesitant~
Yet hopeful~
Looking for a~
Safe entrance to~
Enter my place.
If only there was~
A break~
I too could be~
In their surrounded~
Calm wake reverie.
Alas! ~
A threat less way~
One foot~
Than another foot~
Forward!
Down! ~
Downer~
Down Deeper~
I sink~
I sunk!
Oh! ~
Whoosh~
Whooshing~
Whooshier~
I descend!
My body turns~
Whirls~
Whooossshh~
Whooo~
Waa~
Wa~
About the Silence.
Twirling~
Rolling~
Head up~
Nor down!
Confusion~
Guessing~
Where? ~
What?
The Logic does not panic~
Reason holds arms up~
In positive-ness~
To be up~
To surface~
To flag for help!
This could not be the end? ~
Surely someone will see~
And rescue me!
Whooosh~
Ahhhh~
The top!
Watery shells crest!
Arms flying high above!
Head second~
A gulp of air? ~
Or a swig of wet?
WWWOOOSSH~
Dived~
Swallowed fast again!
Devoured~
The body consumed~
With the mean angry~
Force furious-err than before~
There was nothing I could do~
To defend!
Cadaver revolves~
Rolled~
Inside out~
Or~
Outside In!
Reeling! ~
Whoooshhhing~
Hearing near~
Hushing.
Only the sea~
Me~
Whirled beneath~
And out~
Ousted~
Bottomless~
Farther~
Deeper down kept!
This is the end? ~
The end of me?
Me?
How could that be?
Now only me~
And the whooshing quieter marine.
Yet! ~
Split seconds~
Of reckoning~
With death~
And me!
Be still there is a presence~
A company I know~
There~
There beside me.
I am not alone.
Panic!
This is it!
Too late!
This is it!
Seconds~
The logic mind now says~
“If this is my death Lord~
Do not leave me alone!”
“Lord do not I beg You~
Leave me here alone!”
“Please Lord make sure~
You take me with You!”
Terror! ~
“I want to be ~
With You Lord!”
“Please do not leave me here!”
Whooosh! ~
Whhoooosssshhh~
Whhhiiirrrlll~
The body now limp~
Now given in.
~SUSPENSION~
~PEACE~
“Alright Lord!”
“Your Will be done!”
Whoo-aaashhh~
Who-ash~
SPIT OUT!
SHOVED!
PUSHED!
Crashed to the lava rock! ~
Scraped! ~
Scratched! ~
Banged! ~
Smashed!
Struggling~
Cold horrid hardness~
Grasping~
Climbing swift! ~
Even faster past~
The wet coffee shore~
Smooth!
Up I scramble! ~
Up I fight! ~
Up I thrash!
To finally reach~
The high hilled~
Hot beach sand!
Gasping for air~
Coughing liquid from~
Everywhere!
Expelling~
Wheezing~
Desperately greeding~
For breaths calm.
Resting~
Now those tubby boppers~
Without a care~
Sunbathe~
Ignorant~
Totally unaware.
First shock~
Than anger~
As fear still~
A system stunned.
Relief~
Peace~
Astonishment of a miracle~
Conformation of Knowledge~
A faith affirmation~
Amazing~
Life altering~
Epiphany!
Enlightenment~
I question now not.
I wonder now not.
I know now~
Faith is sound and for sure~
My faith is enough~
I now know the~
Will of the Lord!
