Swept away on a sea of emotion, with waves of joy and despair
Altering my vision, my sight of the ocean, clouding my view of what’s there
I soar above , high over the coast, and the telescope I do not need
For in my mind, skies are sunny and bright, and my spirit it has been freed.
Then without warning, I fall from the skies, and land on the edge of the sea
Dark, damp and murky, cold wet and foul, it drags the strength out of me.
I sink below, under waves, under deep, till I cannot take even one breath
Gasping, then surrendering, I sink lower still, begging for the release of death.
