The sun creeping in my window.

I wake up to the morning creating another unique song.

The trees gently sway to the music as I stand for the first time on this new day.

My window argues as I force it open eager to see the new day.

The wind whistles gracefully as if singing with the bluebirds.

Through the trees, the river runs to the ocean.

The ocean roars as the rivers new current crash against the incoming waves

As I make it to the ocean the sand remembers my footprints as I walk.

Now at the small sailing boat, the rope attempts to rip away from the dock.

The waves try their hardest to free the boat.

I leap onto the sailing boat as it rocks from my sudden motion.

Soon drifting to sea the sail springs open tearing against the wind.

The day vastly passes by, dusk now arriving.

The stars guiding me towards the horizon.

Soon, clouds roll in looking down on my small sailboat.

The waves grow uneasy as the clouds cover the last visible sliver of moonlight.

The sailboat struggles as the waves run frantically at the voice of the thunder.

The thunder speaks loudly blocking all other sound, consuming my mind.

Panic and stress find me mixing with the sound of thunder and panic-stricken waves.

The sail pardons from the boat diving straight down into the deep, dark, ominous sea.

Desperately, I look for guidance but the thick fog and rain block my view.

I lay on my back in the boat facing the terrors surrounding me. 

Water continues jumping in and washing over me.

All hope quickly fading and sinking into the deep immeasurable ocean.

I make a last plea for help as the mangled boat’s tip points straight up.

The boat and I are quickly engulfed by the screeching whirlpool.

Silence.

I hear nothing, no raging waves nor petrifying thunder.

The panic is hushed, the stress is relieved.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*  The agitating alarm hollers.

Reality smacks me in the face.

Now, the new day waits avidly for me to start again.

Hope returns, but now anxiety side-by-side with it. 

I take a deep breath hoping the overwhelming waves won’t swamp me once again.
