as
the current
is pulling me
is pulling me
down
my ears fill with a curious sound
tone
tone
tone
tone
that fades
in a way
in a way
yet it’s amplitude
g r o w s
g r o w s
a water bird?
n o t a b i r d, b u t s i m i l a r i n
song
a whale?
n o t a w h a l e , b u t e q u a l l y a s
s t r o n g
and suddenly
the noise
i s c l e a r
the noise
i s c l e a r
a v o i c e
i t i s

I hear
︎
︎︎
︎︎︎
here i fall
︎︎︎
︎︎
︎
︎︎
︎︎︎
here i fall
it is so lovely
I know
︎︎︎
︎︎
︎
the current pulls me again,
with a force that feels of a friend,
so willingly I lend it my limbs,
and plunge to a depth
I alone could not swim.
︎
︎︎
︎︎︎
︎︎
︎
and there though it is dim,
the plants seem to harness light from within!
They glow a magnificent glint of gimmering life
as to gift me a glimpse.
︎
“How loveley! How Lovely!
How lovely is this!”
I’m brought down
further and
drift
“So lovely”
My thought now dawning a wish,
“May I never leave?”
A soft sound telling me yes...
“As long as you agree to be”
“I do!”
“And agree to believe”
“I will!”
And in this moment I do more than believe.
For in this moment I know...
I can breathe

︎︎
︎︎︎
︎︎︎︎
︎︎︎︎
︎︎︎
︎︎
︎
︎
︎︎
︎
︎
it is so lovely
i know
i know
