Swimming

She's swimming in the sea

The water's miles deep

Her hair is soaking wet

It floats around her head

Darkness follows her swimming

Her trust is slowly thinning

It's hard for her to breathe

The cold suffocates her feet

She bubbles out some words

As the waves arrive in herds

"I must push on. Come what may,

I'll still make it to the bay."

Her teeth hit the cold

And following is her nose

Her eyes are last to go

And their blue color shows

Submerged in the sea

The dark becomes the enemy

Her breaths break the water

The breaths of this daughter
