Swimming for love

In an ocean of solitude my heart is mournful. I feel utterly alone as I float in the waves so far out I lose sight of land. To me at this exact moment the water is as desolate and barren as a desert, The waves are like sand. Only instead of parching me of thirst the water is over quenching.  The waves are softer out here but it’s starting to get harder to stay afloat because I’m so tired… As the weariness hits me I begin to struggle to stay above the surface.. As I start to sink beneath the surf visions engulf me… I see my life flash before my eyes just the way they say it does before you have your last real moment of life. In these visions I see the many people that have gone in and out of my life like the ebb and flow of the tide. As my feet touch the pebbly bottom I see a glimpse of his face, Warm eyes touching my soul and a smile that warms me to the core. The memory fills me and flows over me like a hot spring in middle of the mountains. Suddenly all is not lost and I push myself back to the surface, ready to battle the undertow and make my way back to shore… All because of love. All because of him.
