This poem is a response or sequel to the poem "An Era's Last Echo".

----

As the sea envelopes every inch
Of my ragged and torn form
Violently tugging at my limp limbs
A strange burning sensation begins
To prickle at my frigid feet

Disturbing my peaceful dying sleep
I am suddenly jolted awake
By my saturated lungs
Who scream to breathe in my ear
Pleading desperately for sustenance

Reaching toward the shimmering surface
I am too weak to resist
The grasp of the angry, churning sea
Whose forceful current pulls me
Toward the darkness far beneath

Yet echoing faintly inside my head
I hear an enlivening call
And suddenly my hypothermic body
Begins to tingle with warmth
As the spell of death is lifted

Feeling as if my whole body
Has woken from a paralyzing slumber
I kick and flail against the ocean
Desperately ascending towards the surface
Barely escaping her fatal jaws

The sun is framed cruelly above
Tempting me with its piercing rays
And as my scorched and salted lungs
Propel me toward life on the other side
I am mocked by its cheerful gaze

The color comes rushing back
Spilling into my eyes from all sides
As if the sheets blocking out the light
Had been ripped away
As if the windows had been flung open

And as I burst through the foam
Of the thrashing, crushing tide
Inhaling deeply the rejuvenating air
For the first time since you died
I have awakened from my coma
