LAST SWIM

It’s interesting how I somehow

Feel I shall never reach

That lonely distant strip of sand

They often call a beach.


I swim so hard to keep in sight

That lonely distant shore.

I swim all night. It’s out of sight.

I push to swim some more.


My head slips down beneath a wave.

My mouth gulps water in.

My chances seem to ever be

Increasingly so slim.


Some force is pushing harder now

To keep me swimming on.

If I can only swim some more

I might just see the dawn.


But dawn does come without a beach,

It’s still far out of sight,

And I can push no further on

For I have no more fight.
