Holding my breath
submerged beneath the ocean
I blew bubbles to the surface
and swam to the top
I treaded water there
surrounded by everything and nothing
I felt God’s presence
in the awesome calmness of the water
and in my breath
that I could see in the cold air
Suddenly
I saw a shark swimming towards me
I swam to the safety of the boat
Catching my breath on the floor
salt water dripping from my limbs
Nothing lasts forever
