Beneath The Water

Beneath The Water

A couple of concrete blocks tied to an old ships line

Slipped beneath the surface of the ocean in the mind

Descending ever further into the depths below

Pulling out the slack as they downward go

Until the weight bids to the heart, ‘Come on the waters fine’

Deceived of the struggle to keep itself above the brine

Unseen on top of the water are the weights way down below

And how their constant pull eventually takes a toll

Until unnoticed by the crowd engaged in all their fodder

This tired heart gives up its fight, and slips beneath the water
