Clouds hang heavy over head,
Filling my heart with unbidden sadness.
Tears well in my eyes,
and the emotions there…
Turbulent,
Chaotic.
A tropical storm.

Warm and passionate,
despite the pain.
Festering slowly,
An open wound.

So i hide.
Deep within the cave i’ve created.
A safe haven from my memories.
An enclosed space where i can still watch the stars.

High above,
Reflected in open waters.
Am i closer to the Gods?
Am i closer to freedom?

Hope blooms deep beneath my veins.
So i take a breath, and skin below the waves.
