Dark and Deep

I'm left within a barren ocean,

A cold and empty sea.

Where have my fellow singers gone?

Their voices don't reach me.

There was that wind of water,

From the blue sea up above.

Almost taking me as well,

Along with those I love.

I sink down through the murky depths,

My body, bruised and battered.

Left alone, of kin bereft,

My life no longer matters.

Let this dark sea take me.

Let me sink beneath the waves.

My song has ended, the ocean's silent,

Let the seafloor be my grave.

Let the water fill my lungs,

Let my body fall.

Let that feeling linger,

Of the hearing of life's call.

I…no it cannot end yet,

I swim up through the dark.

I break out through the water's surface,

Beating rapid is my heart.

It cannot end, not here, not now,

I must right this wrong.

Those who took my pod shall know,

I still have my song.
