Tides

Longing for breath
Droning delerium
Crushing depths
Darkness pressing in
Anxiety begotten
Desperation, my soul
Feeling about; blind
Truth to grasp
Somewhere within
Closing in
Losing sight
Losing touch
Reaching in
Finding nothing left
Against these tides
Of strain
Questing within to seek
The lesson
Escaping me
My plight
Reaching the end
Drowning; pushing out
Longing for breath
