Penny for my thoughts

Adrift with only but a cordless microphone; salt encrusted parched lips silently screaming. Vocal cords hoarse from fruitless wailing. Winds stirring swells higher with each impact. Churning, lost, alone. Lightening blazes burning retinas, thunders rage clapping eardrums. Echoes confuse, darkness shrouds, rain drops blur, coldness blankets all emotions. The storm has brewed.
Family searches, spotlights swirling, life vests and flotation rings at the ready. Hoping against hope I will just hold out until they locate me. Whistles blowing until their lungs gasp for reprieve.
I’ve tried to prepare them; shouted my love from the peaks of my deepest depths. I can’t explain but here’s my stain. My loved ones scour oceans while I drown inside my brain.
