Ocean Angel

I fear where I am going,

the pressure is choking

my voice.

Mysteries suspend my comfort,

as I’m sinking quickly,

in a big, dark, blue world.                                    

My body floats

down in an abyss

without air for my two lungs.  

White feathers don’t save me,

but an angel is there.

Though she will not get me out,

and in I remain,

I hear her voice sparkle

like the sun on the surface-

“Sinking in darkness is scary,

but trust me,

light is waiting for you.”

Hope floods my body,

filling my heart,

helping me breathe.

Who knew light could exist

even under the unseen.
