Endless ebb of ocean spilled, an all expansive sea, mirror made of sun and stars, horizon sunset meets. All submerged, a water world, above, afloat, is me; from tidal turn, to swim I've earned the murk all sank in sleep. Brighter days beget sunlight that pierces through the deep; cities, buildings, all exposed, from mud now settling. All is swallowed in the void, an epitaph this reef, where I succumb and anchor down when body has fatigued. Silence here, from muted mouth, asphyxiates breathing so I will gasp for want of air, to stave my own drowning; better days behind in mind, though currents underneath, so I will drift upon my back and savor salty breeze.
