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
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
