\n
Against the current<\/p>\n
Swelling and gushing<\/p>\n
Frothing and foaming<\/p>\n
Pooling salivating drool<\/p>\n
Rising up into a crescent<\/p>\n
And breaking!<\/p>\n
With a thunderous roar<\/p>\n
Swaying with the waves<\/p>\n
Of harmless doubt<\/p>\n
Swirling with ripples<\/p>\n
Of pulsating excitement,<\/p>\n
Then plunging<\/p>\n
\u00a0To deep despair<\/p>\n
\n
Dancing in the glittering water<\/p>\n
Of a vast blue sea<\/p>\n
Calling and shouting<\/p>\n
Pleading mercy<\/p>\n
Wailing and yelling<\/p>\n
Bursting torrents of rain<\/p>\n
From the heart of an abyss<\/p>\n
Engulfing, drowning darkness<\/p>\n
Of sounds and sights<\/p>\n
Flailing, bobbing plights<\/p>\n
Desperately splashing<\/p>\n
A slapping whiplash<\/p>\n
Stinging and soothing<\/p>\n
With a mindless void<\/p>\n
Crushing and pulling<\/p>\n
In a swirling vortex<\/p>\n
Of babbling confusion<\/p>\n
And watery eyes<\/p>\n
\n
And from amid<\/p>\n
The emerald darkness<\/p>\n
The blind rages<\/p>\n
Of a despairing monster<\/p>\n
Shoots a ray<\/p>\n
Cracking and shattering<\/p>\n
The watery illusion<\/p>\n
\n
A spark!<\/p>\n
Diving in the heart<\/p>\n
Of the heartless waters<\/p>\n
And bubbling and bobbing<\/p>\n
Floating and failing<\/p>\n
Breathing and losing<\/p>\n
Trickling and teasing<\/p>\n
Rippling in waves<\/p>\n
And spraying<\/p>\n
Droplets of<\/p>\n
\u00a0Hope.<\/p>\n
\n
