Surfing The Waves

The dark wave hit me hard and deep
and spewed me out onto the land
Leaving me exhausted,
begging for mercy
and gasping for breath

And now, I try to get up again
and let my naked body
dry in the sun
The waters, though rough,
washed my soul a bit more clean

And I look around in wonder
I can still stand on my feet
First thing I notice is
I have you on my heart
even stronger
