The crests of water splashed over my head
My gaze was obstructed by the salty breeze in my eyes
The sun was over head beating down
Streams of sun baked my crown
I tasted the salt running into my lips
It had been three hours
I bobbed with the waves
The feeling of isolation
Of helplessness
Of enormity is like nothing else
I struggled to lift my eyes to greet the sun above it
It was shrouded in thick haze
The swells crested snow tips and dissolved in avalanche
The power was endless
I flailed my limbs
Thinking the thousands of leagues below me teem nothingness and life
The sea engulfed me
