You let me fall deep.
Deep into your ocean.
Where the sun rays shimmered,
like distant stars.
And the stillness
felt safe
wrapped around my body.

You let me fall deep.
So that I could not feel
the changing tides
or the crashing waves
as they breached upon
your shores.

Now I've been cast out
by the currents
I did not know you had
Left exposed and uncertain
to the waters that lie ahead.

And as I find my way
out of your ocean.
I wonder,
if I was not meant to stay
why did you let me
fall
so
deep.
