Offshore

Out, alone, in the ocean so green,
The sparkling bobbing waves are never seen.
The hands are in the millions, strength just alike,
Bodies are overcome if it comes down to fight.
The fingers clash as they eagerly crowd,
Claustrophobic faces put under dark shroud.
Struggling, pushing, the breath does no good.
Salty heavy liquid for air misunderstood.
It's hopeless, there's not worth to try.
Sink down the depths until tears again seem dry.
Fading, fading, fading only to black.
Lay down the body softly on back.
Sleep soundly, heavily, weighted below.

Strengthening white light still ever glows.
The colors are vivid now, unlike before,
A fragile new world of nothing seen, offshore.
