Falling once again
in a hush of soft clouds
the ocean far below me
blood coursing through my veins
its journey a deafening roar
that overwhelms me
my fear speaks in hushed tones
and in words unfamiliar
cold envelops me and I am falling
the water below swells to meet me
then again, the silence
drifting in darkness
peace engulfs me
my heart feels you near
suddenly a flowing warmth
fills me to overflowing
I hear my name
and then I am falling again
