   • 🤔 hhhmmm I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, Eric.

     • Lol sometimes it’s good. But I’m not sure this is a good thing. Feel like drowning, and wishing it felt like living, would be easier than actually living sometimes.

       • Yeah. I hear you there. Totally.
         I wonder if I went and walked out into those waves if it would be peaceful.

4. I wrote a song about drowning in someone before. Your words capture it much better.

     • I wrote and recorded this several years back. I’ve written and deleted the words so many times, that I recorded just the music. Now, I play it in my car and hope that I get inspired to finish it:

       • I wish! It’s when the melody comes to me. I think that I have to strip away all of the guitar and keyboard parts and keep it to its base form. Then I can get a grip on what I should write over it.

       • Well I know what came to my mind. I liked it. You can bet I’m gonna listen again. And again. I can only imagine how good it’s gonna be finished.

6. That was heavy. Like a sledgehammer to the chest. At first I thought this was, like your other poems, more on several sides of the same situation: you’re drowning, but it’s peaceful. You’ll die, but your pain will stop. That dilemma, but then the line “Yet here in your tender embrace” comes and not only does the entire situation gain another angle (now the “drowning” can be peaceful and exciting, breathtaking, if you will) but there exists the possibility that yes, the moment before you completely settle into Death’s embrace, you are wont to feel at peace. So then it’s more of a transformation, from the drowning you to the drowned you but at the same time, the saved you, you at peace.

   Marvelous, as always – I love the way it doesn’t lose its original meaning but just adds more layers to it.

8. I’ve missed so much of your writing. I wish I was well enough to properly express how lovely this is. I’ll just leave it at:: this is wonderful, and I have an affinity for dreams of drowning.

9. Another one that I can relate to as I did drown once, this describes it quite well. I disagree with your comment on your about page that you are nothing special to look at. You look amazing to me.

   • You are so very kind. That’s crazy that you actually experienced that. Do you suffer any issues from your experience (if I may ask)?

     • Yes you may ask but I’m not sure you will like the answer… when you drown you go through several stages, first you are calm and think that you will surface soon, then you try to reach the surface, then you panic. Once I had finished panicing I was absolutely at peace and waited to wake up in heaven. The outcome of that and as a result of my horrid life is that I don’t fear death anymore. I have come close to dying 6 other times and would welcome it but the Lord won’t let me go yet??
