‘Down....down....deeper down’

I stumble thru the briney seas... 
Oh my God.............I’ve fallen overboard...my skin feels raw in the icy freeze as the ship sails thru the Norwegian fjord

Stabbing pains are hurting me just like icicles in my chest
‘Down... down ... deeper down’
I’m at the mercy of the ocean’s quest

Agonising slow motion it seems like ages I’ve been in the sea as I surface flustered & flapping my arms.... “Please can somebody help me?”

I yell...I scream...I am attempting to swim but my arms are Oh so cold... “Stay calm, save your energy” my inner voice thinks trying to be brave & bold

Alas I am lost in the Arctic Ocean my body is slowing down.... am I having hallucinations ? I spy an angel with a floating gown

Have I succomed to the sea’s peril... ...I am sure I must have drowned... “Jill get up we have to go “ echoes all around

I am in disbelief what I can hear
now I know all is not as it seems
“Thank the Lord” I reply to my Mother...........I’ve just had the horriblest of dreams”
