I ascend from the ocean floor,
Through shafts of wondrous sunlight.
My mind dabbles in a state of pleasure,
And in marvelous rebellion.
Defying mind, breath and pressure,
I’m enveloped,
In a liquid element,
Travelling to the edge of myself,
To a place of well being.
To feel, to know, to be alive,
For once, I’m certain,
I’m where I should be.
The ocean beckons, and taunts
Dares me, to stay a little longer
I’m a visitor,
Stuck in suspension
Between this world and mine.
I go on through,
And finally surface,
The world seems brand new,
As I cling onto
Flimsy shreds of normalcy
