I Am Only But Dreaming
I am only but dreaming
I am sinking,
into the deep,crisp,blue ocean.
I am falling
underneath the salty ocean.
I don’t want to come up
for air.
I like being under; feeling and seeing,
the green seaweed and clear jellyfish pass my feet.
I don’t mind,
the sand rushing up from underneath
It’s all calm and quiet
beneath the sound of the waves, and the sound of the seagulls cries.
I am running,
out of air.
I can’t breathe, but it’s so pretty down here, the fish passing by me.
I am drowning , no oxygen leaving my frail body.
I like the calmness of death,
the gentle ease of saying goodbye...
To the green seaweed, to the sound of the seagulls cries.
I like this feeling as I lie on the sandy ocean floor.
It’s so peaceful.
