a voice rising in the air
like sunlight glinting off the waves
breaking our silence.
embraced by yawning blue,
held fast; held tight
pulled deeper with every note.
battered by merciless tides
rolled smooth by sun-bleached sand
rib shards shimmer like glass.
vision clouded by saltwater,
there's no up or down,
only blue.
safer in the cold and dark,
because there's always that _maybe_
of something at the bottom.
why gaze down?
why tread water?
why not break the surface
and _breathe_?
