Wake Up

I can see your fingers snatching at the surface,

And, I’m holding out my hand.

I can see your face and your silent screams,

And, I’m waiting, with my arm outstretched.

My feet are planted and my heart is set

To never leave this spot,

Because, I see you flailing & your burbles of wailing,

But, I’ve been placed here to stand and wait.

Stop screaming.

You’re dreaming.

Grab hold.
