Poetry: Being overwhelmed

by Jill Ardary

Created on: April 05, 2009

THE RESCUE

The waters were a bit choppy

When the girl started to go down.

She reached out for rescue

To the one she had trusted for awhile.

He tried to help

By offering a guiding hand

And showing her that she could

Remain calm In the storm.

She took his hand

And pulled him in

Just as the waters began to rage.

He tried gently to pull her up

As she began to pull him down.

When the storm waters began to reel

She tightened her grasp on him,

Puling him further below\as she did.

When the waters became violent

He did the only thing he could,

Pushed her under

Before they both drowned.

By pushing her under

The rescue was achieved.

She rose to the surface

And slowly worked toward swimming to shore

On her own.
