Free Diving
In superhuman ability or the golden ring sought
filling the lungs to capacity into the waves besot
Faster and deeper into the depths sleek as if born to this world
Seeing what few will ever as around its denizens swirled
Diving off an undersea high rise of stones not trodded by men
my own breath becoming troubled she dives deeper and deeper again
Sprinting alleyways on the seas floor between walls cut precisely by time
Or chiseled by The will of God a workmanship sublime
The danger of becoming so fully entranced must remain uppermost in mind
As to aid in the returning to the world of the land breathing kind
Unencumbered free flowing soaring leaping in a single bound
how does she talk herself into returning to this now unhallowed ground
Awash in this world without chaos quieted by purpose of thought
Off the wheel off the chain this my friend can't be bought
Watch it yourself see what I mean live it through the fearless eyes
Of a free diver plunging into the surf to traverse it's watery skies
