Quick Water

moving water

You were standing on the beach 

Next thing you are going down 

You can feel the sinking feeling 

But this is not normal sand

In fact, it is not sand at all

 

You can feel the weight 

The pull of its force on your legs

You struggle 

But are unable to move

 

Pulling ever harder upwards

But you keep sinking downwards 

Not even sand but feels kind of smooth 

You cannot get yourself loose 

 

It swirls around you

Continues to astound you

You try to release its grip

But now it is up to your hip

You decide to think again 

Before next going in

Thought you might just take a quick dip

But wondered if you really ought too

In such quick water
