Forever Sinking Through Murk


Forever slips through my fingers like

The seaweed they’ve closed on as

Death takes over the whites of my eyes



Breath chokes from my throat and

In its place crawls in

The water from these murky depths



I am falling, I am slipping away

From this world

Down instead to the Seamonstress hidden

In the din



Tears melt into water

Weeping turns to choking, gripping my throat in terror

In these breathless moments

I pray as I cry

I struggle to grip reality



My legs, they kick

Yet still down I am sinking

Scared, I am falling

Pushed by this godforsaken current

Down to the stillsilent sand



Eyes flutter shut

Oxygen escapes me

My last moments are here at the bottom









Gone











Now I am rising

A body stays behind

I am free

I have flown

No more crying, no more tears, no more desperation



Something better is ahead

Fear left alone

No longer do I feel so afraid



For now I lay here on the sand

Reaching out for freedom

One souls breath away
