I had slept the transcendent hibernation
encompassed in viscous lullabies of slumber
But the tide had changed and I was aroused
In panicked awakenings my eyes opened wide

In thoughts of confusion I was not of sound
reasoning, clambering on a wanting of breath I
lunged at what was abundant around myself.
Fear eclipsed my thoughts and I was static in motion.

Silence greeted my realization as I inhaled a single
ending breath, but I was of calm as I gained another.
I was of this realm of immersion, the mists of
confusion cleared and I swam into the deep.
