Sapphire Blue

Sapphire Blue

The ocean’s deep caress

Reaches for me

poised

on the

brink

The surface,

cold, flat, unreadable

I draw away

from

The ocean’s emotionless face,

confusing, terrifying, glowering

I take a deep breath

and plunge

down

into

Sapphire Blue

The ocean current

relentlessly tugs at me,

heart, body, soul

turmoil, life, violence

embrace me in a death-hold

I willingly surrender

to

The ocean’s deep caress

held by

Sapphire Blue
