Illusions



Inside the cocoon of swirling waves, 
I swim gently, awaiting the splash. 
The lights distorted, surrounding me, 
Creating an illusion of the northern lights.. 

I swam first rushing along, 
Avoiding the splash as much as I can, 
I slipped on a current and missed a breath, 
I saw the water making its fall.

The wave huge about to swallow me, 
I couldn't back down,  but was ready to surrender. 
Waiting for the strike, to make me breathless
Down it came crashing on me. 

When I stopped fighting, 
The waves enveloped me, 
Like an oyster protecting the pearl, 
I felt cherished and cocooned. 

The false sense of security 
The lull setting me to settle in, 
Didn't realize, it wasn't my home, 
The hugging waves, started to kick.
