59. Struggling On

It was worth struggling on
over the tides

If only because there was
a breath of fresh air
at the end of it

That haven, that paradise
they'd dreamt
in the soft glowing light
of the setting sun.

The blood that slipped away
under the currents
and drowned – it was worth it

…wasn't it?
