Breathe Again

Drowning, pulling me deep;
struggling, temptation; I can't swim.
Ever deep I plunge to a depth of 
twenty thousand leagues.

Bubbles and air pockets surround me,
escaping, evasion; I can't breathe.
Drawing near is the darkness, an 
appearing abyss it seems.

Fishes swimming by me, thoughts of 
life; sparkles shimmering in remaining
light; A daring plunge by courageous hope.
Her hand in sight with bar and soap.

A cleansing drought, her purifying smiles;
With never a doubt, she dove for miles.
