I see the rolling waves undulating in the deep blue ocean, br I hear the gushing, the rushing and the turbulent motion; br While many of us are in the waters thrashing all about br Frighteningly and frantically, 'Save us! ' we shout. br br Our vessel has sunk; we were tossed into the rough sea; br How could that upset have happened, how did it come to be? br Life boats filled to capacity, life rings clung to in a death-grip br Help comes, rescuers arrive to lift us onto another ship. br br I taste the salty brine and choke on what I swallow; br I drift in and out of consciousness and helplessly wallow br In waters of oblivion, with others just like me ~ in that sea br Until I hear the sound of a bell ringing in the distance br Ringing and ringing with great persistance. br It snaps me out of that horrific situation; br I find blessed relief without hesitation. br A new day has dawned, and I stretch with a yawn.
