Submerged in the depth of the abyss
Motionless nor missed
Submissive to fathom's organisms
Time had lost all realism
Amidst quiet grave her heart pulsates
Within the labyrinth iron hull
“Current, bring me the horizon”
The ship starts to breathe
Tremendous echoing sounds,
Creaking,
Snapping,
Sloshing
As the water draws back
Washing over the deck
Slowly ascends through freezing brine
Bow cutting through seawater surface
Waves lapping against the dressed floral coral hulls
A slave adrift at the mercy of the sea
Shadowy image upon its deck
Feeling the cool caress of bliss
Salty tears flowing down her cheek
