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."
