Rip Tide Poem by Kim Schilling

Rip Tide



Deadly
ocean rip tide
current pushing away
hides below playful tumbling waves
sucking unaware humans
further sea bound
floating
against their will
waging war on tempest
pounding down upon their spirits
Sunburned and blistery
treading for life
hoping
savior appears
freedom to transport them
Life beyond what hell has become
begging for forgiveness
coming to grips
their lives
completely lived
only missing goodbyes
Loved ones bemused by mystery
lay bouquets and garlands
Weary swimmers
praying
sea submerges
quickly and painlessly
Lungs inhale with burning saline
surface drifts from vision
bodies touching
bottom
