Deeper and deeper
I spiral, becoming one with the murky depths
Flesh pressed against bone as the pressure rises
My heartbeat slows with every passing moment
I close my eyes against the rising darkness
Fathoms beneath the rolling waves
Where it is calm
Where it is cold
Where the black wraps me in comfort
The stillness and the silence
Gripping my existence
Calling me down.....
Down...
Down...
To where songbirds are not heard
To where my racing mind becomes untroubled
Serene in the deathlike cloak
Of the home I fall into
Again and again
Deeper
Until
I am
A stone in the sea...
Without resistance I tumble
And twist
Until I come to rest
Without light
Or sound
Or companionship
I am alone
In the deep blue sea
And it is pacific
In it's serenity...
I love the spiral movement of the text itself...I have been here, too, in the cold, dark sea. Something about it is somehow comforting, yes? I love this...
