Through Cobalt Blues I Drifted

This journey of which you now read, happens to many of us It's what happened to me, my thoughts through the waves in discuss It was on a normal day, I was fishing on craggy rocks When out of the blue it came, this wave and me became locked Salted eyes and gasping for air, hazed glimpses of where I once stood My thoughts in flickering capture, the youngest of our family brood The last catch of land I see, as I'm trawled so far into this blue My heart emitting signals from their youngest, I, their loving true Deeper and deeper I'm swallowed, marine life simply abounds For marvels they definitely are, just like those marvels on common ground Nearly ten minutes has passed, yet I'm as alert as I would normally be My eyes now appear to be customised, as I view what's all around me Dolphins play chasing Tuna, Hammerheads patrol like guards Species like the Mola Mola, so wonderful, their definitely stars Momentarily I glimpse through the light, as it diminishes into cobalt blues The sights that I start to see, are species in identity confuse Upon a fallen whale, it's carcass in steadily clean Are hundreds of half meter Hag Fish, of them I wouldn't like to dream Suddenly a movement catches my eye, a Sixgill Shark swims close to me Strangely I don't feel nervous at all, beside this marvel of the seas This flowing through these cobalt blues, is like a feeling I've never known Was there a desire on this day, for the wave to take me, now shown This journey of which you now read, happens to many of us On a beach many hours later I awoke, around the schools I now discuss When ever you are close to the waters, whether oceans, lakes or seas Me, well I have no answers, be careful and you won't be me *~*
