The Swimming Lesson

You ask me

When I learnt to swim

That stumped me

You ask me How

And I'm clueless now.

I remember well that day

Thrown into rough seas

Unprepared, scared

Buffeting waves swelled

They came to swallow me

Not knowing what I do

I thrashed and splashed

To keep head clear

To stay alive

And in a while

To my surprise

I swam.
