Heart of the Sea

The day we were through
         I swam into the blue
               The blue of the deep blue sea

It all was too real
        I could not bear to feel
               The pain that enveloped me

So cold I became
        That I cried out your name
                 So lost was I without thee

Beneath a blue moon
        I grew more numb and soon
                 All that I felt was empty

I heard a strange call
         Feeling nothing at all
                I surrendered totally

I let myself go
       Very deep down below
              Deep down to - heart of the sea

Washed clean of my pain
       To love once again
               Is now my reality

But how could it be?
        I survived! I am free
              Heart of the sea’s mystery

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
