Currents dance with hypnotic grace
Mirroring the scaly light of the moon
Waves echo the drums of thunder
And the floor beneath me creaks and sighs
My arms are spread like wings
Preparing to carry an airborne soul
The kingdom of pearls cries out
Calling me to join them in their sorrows
The water welcomes me with silence
My feet fall from beneath
And I choose to sink into its arms
As it encompasses me in a salty embrace
And holds my hands to drag me down
To where the depths reveal their lament
I feel my heart emptying of life
I am abandoned
Left to the mercy of the sea.
