Plunging beneath the surface And as it all finally settles So does silence Being broken only by the sound of my breath The bubbles bursting from my lips Tentatively stagger toward the surface I go deeper As far as I can before my breath runs out Toward an inaccessible deep blueness Where a whole new world awaits me Out of reach from the shimmering luster above Past the rigid rocks Moving gently forward A school of shiny fish scatters at my arrival The seaweed dances around Ensnaring any foolish enough to wander too close I’m running out of air The time is too short Back to where I’m from Beyond the wild and beautifully unexplored world below me I am wistful to part Because time Is what makes it so special

The Scuba Diver
Plunging beneath the surface And as it all finally settles So does silence Being broken only by the sound of my breath The bubbles bursting from my lips Tentatively stagger toward the surface I go deeper As far as I can before my breath runs out Toward an inaccessible deep blueness Where a whole new world awaits me Out of reach from the shimmering luster above Past the rigid rocks Moving gently forward A school of shiny fish scatters at my arrival The seaweed dances around Ensnaring any foolish enough to wander too close I’m running out of air The time is too short Back to where I’m from Beyond the wild and beautifully unexplored world below me I am wistful to part Because time Is what makes it so special
