Deep Dark Water

Deep dark water I sense the fear, The icy cold specter of death is near, It calls me like a moth to the light, I want to run but can’t take flight. What lurks in the water so dark and blue? Evil, like a heart that cannot be true. Creatures there to bring a quick death, Pulled under fighting for your breath. Be wary travelers of dark water that runs deep, For you may sink to find eternal sleep. Deep dark water I sense the fear, The icy cold specter of death is near.

I was swimming in a sink hole in Cancun Mexico one year. It was several hundred of feet deep. I suddenly was overwhelmed by a feeling of death. A chill up my spine. I looked down and the water was so dark I could barely see my feet. I felt like something was down there looking up at me. Still creepy years later.
