Sometimes


by Cat Sellers

SOMETIMES 

 

sometimes

it rolls over you

like one of those waves

engulfing you

and then

no more ground

underneath your feet

you tumble upside down

downside up

pushed across the sand

thrown

onto the beach

only to be towed under

again

by an irresistible force

to become one 

with an element

that does not allow you 

to breathe

and you know

time

has come to be

still

there is nothing

to hold on to

so letting go

is easy
