Deep Waters

Peace. A power hidden.

Sand, burning but soft,
welcoming you to water,
Saline but calming.

Limits are made to be pushed.
Are they not?
So further come the deepest currents.
To them, you will adventure.

inebriated, you,
but not the water.
Pulls you from your feet:
till the shoreline is no more than a remnant of a past life.

A broken callus or cut is a call
To monsters of the deep.

though you can swim,
you are helpless.

Each shadow beneath the surface,
reminds you that you are lost to the depths.

Peace, and a hidden power.
