Dozing the Depths
Written: February 26, 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our slumber, a rock falling swiftly overnight,
Embalms serene, steady air that breathes.
It shapes our days as a harbor of zeal bright,
From choppy seas as ethereal rage seethes.
Encrusted jewels beneath its surface gleam,
Emerald caskets clasped in diaphanous silk.
Here, flaws relent as wealth raises self-esteem,
Adorned with pearl crowns and gems of pink.
A skull below the silt, bulging from the bed,
Bleach-white sockets gaze at vacant space.
Deep-buried creatures intertwine instead,
With live death as bones, they now embrace.
As deep slumber shifts the waves of time,
Wishes were all that revealed the sublime.
