Smell electric in the air, cold and warm air meet
Folowed by a deafening crash, as thunder shakes the ground
Hear the wind a howling, waves come crashing down

Standing on this rocky shore,arms are outstreched wide
Open to the elements, waiting for the tide
Watching as the waters foam, swirl around my feet
Knowing that the time is near,my maker I will meet

Raindrops, shards of broken glass, bouncing on the sand
As I fall into the sea, a stranger takes my hand
Peace and inner quietness I feel inside my soul
All my torn emotions, repaired and put back whole

Now the storm is over,I stand and look around
I was so sad and very lost,it seems I have been found
I thank that caring stranger, who saved me from the deep
A stranger he will be no more, upon my final sleep

The rhythm here is great and the words are fabulous. I didn't miss a beat as I read it. The images are crisp and clear and vivid. I liked reading these words, and I appreciate the uplifting end to the tale. A feel of hope prevails.

Fantastic poem. In the words of Cheryl Cole "I thoroughly enjoyed that"...
