abstract reflections (prose)

i. 

Once I drifted far away and couldn't find a place to land
hours and hours I spent in the waves holding on with hope 
sea creatures made me jump as they tickled my toes

the fish teased me and reminded me of how hungry I was
so much food around but not one catch as they hurried on

In those hours of not being sure of what was going to happen
I looked up in the sky and noticed the sun shining bright
and I glanced at the sea again, only to be reminded of
what a wreck I really was and at that point, I didn't care

Many times I struggled with wanting to give up
without any direction and guidance, I just kept on moving
drifting

     off

      into

         a

     peaceful

sleep,

I knew that everything would be fine

ii.

I don't remember what happened next
except when I woke up, I finally had landed
I kissed the land and gave thanks
as I was looking down, (I noticed my reflection again)
and saw light in my eyes that I didn't see before

suddenly, I started caring about the future and right now

iii. 

I realized that I shouldn't even be alive
for some reason I am and so are you
between the two of us, anything can happen

iiii.

I do apologize

I forgot that I wasn't by myself 

I kept on thinking of how I should only survive

but if you wouldn't have pulled me out of the waters

      and just as I was thinking that

you cried for help

iiiii.

I ran and checked

seeing a snake, I jumped to action

after that we just looked at each other and smiled

nothing could ever come between us
