Sun shining Warmth spreads over me Gooseflesh covers my arms I close my eyes Inhaling deeply the scent of the sea Looking up I watch as the waves crash around the rocky shore The clouds roll in I can smell the storm coming in on the wind I sit up to leave The fog has come in now covering everything around me Something brushes my feet Its cold I look down The tide has come in How did it happen so quickly I’ve lost all sense of time The water rises fast Pulling me in I try to turn and walk to higher grounds I slip The waves are strong Pulling me under I am surrounded by glorious water In a startled panic I reach for the surface Air I have run out of I find the top Gasping for air It fills my lungs I find I have been drug out to sea I can no longer see the shore A wave laps over me Under Under Under I go As my last breath is taken I will myself to live Pleading with the gods Any who will listen The salty water stings my eyes Just as my last moments come I find utter peace in all that is This world I have found myself in is beautiful A watery dungeon of beauty I fall down deeper into the depths Understanding that this shall be my prison Excepting it Understanding it Wanting it A mermaid I’ve become A watery angel I shall be

Water Angel
Sun shining Warmth spreads over me Gooseflesh covers my arms I close my eyes Inhaling deeply the scent of the sea Looking up I watch as the waves crash around the rocky shore The clouds roll in I can smell the storm coming in on the wind I sit up to leave The fog has come in now covering everything around me Something brushes my feet Its cold I look down The tide has come in How did it happen so quickly I’ve lost all sense of time The water rises fast Pulling me in I try to turn and walk to higher grounds I slip The waves are strong Pulling me under I am surrounded by glorious water In a startled panic I reach for the surface Air I have run out of I find the top Gasping for air It fills my lungs I find I have been drug out to sea I can no longer see the shore A wave laps over me Under Under Under I go As my last breath is taken I will myself to live Pleading with the gods Any who will listen The salty water stings my eyes Just as my last moments come I find utter peace in all that is This world I have found myself in is beautiful A watery dungeon of beauty I fall down deeper into the depths Understanding that this shall be my prison Excepting it Understanding it Wanting it A mermaid I’ve become A watery angel I shall be
