again, the castaway survives

(a relentless tide pulled me back)

over the crested waves I was swept

(willingly)

but for the bow of a steady ship
and a grappling hook that wouldn’t quit
I was capsized

I floundered
nearly drowned
within waves of frustration

but to no avail
did I flail against your rescue attempts

Thank you

Captivating and professional in a merry and gingerly way ... enriching!
