metal vessel creeks, moans
water seeps along interior walls,
under benthic depths pressure builds,
descending further, abysmic lightless
no sight.
~~
releasing my breath in bubbles,
nothing left to give, apathy sets in.
ballasts filled with cold heavy water,
the descent continues.
~~
like a wet blanket words and fires
asphyxiated. hard to hear muses
ears popping, muffling voices.
only faith and radar pings
navigation brings.
~~
feeling breathless, broken,
sinking further, uncharted
hull unbreachead, seeking,
searching, myself, beseeched.
~~
taking no more depth, now finally
surrendering the weight of my breath
and pain i turn now, ready to ascend
again. “blow the ballasts!,” i shout.
~~
sunlight penetrates murky depths
benthic below me, empathy returns
finding in heart spaces, forgiveness
for myself, hardest to give & receive.
~~
breaching, no longer beseaching.
lost; now found.
new heart spaces recovered.
another return to positive buoyancy.
~~~
Namaste
