Submerged in the deep blue
unreachable.
The world sounds only of
the bubbles that gurgle at my ears,
and feels
soft and cool on my skin.
Thousands of silver speckles swim
by in schools flowing and
shifting around me. I want to
get closer but it’s not going to happen.
We’ll share the ocean a little longer.
I am the awkward visitor too happy
to see you. Maybe one day
we’ll be friends.
