Deep Blue Under

The sound of the shore It's everlasting If you're silent, Still Waves crash over coral rocks And reefs Soon you hear fizzing water Creeping up from behind your bare feet. You move quickly, But not quick enough. The water rises as you try to escape It's wrathful invitation. Every step you take The water quickens. You yell for help, But no one is there to hear you. You yell once more, But the crashing waves muffle your cries. The deep blue water has taken you down Into its vengeance world. . . Where you can't breathe, Can't see. You're weak from the struggle of survival So you just give up, Without thinking of the ones who love you As if they never exist. With your last seconds of life, You whisper "Goodbye."
