Drifting, Floating
Swimming, Flowing
Sinking, Drowning
Drifting, Floating
Life is simple; effortless
My body naturally buoyant
I am a lazy jellyfish
My limbs long & delicate
I gently waft with the current.
Swimming, Flowing
Life imposes trajectory
My body strong & adept
I am a porpoise with purpose
My wake ripples outwardly
I find my stride among the swells
Sinking, Drowning
Life becomes overwhelming
My body ravaged by time
I am one with all dying creatures
My arms limp, body decrepit
Water permeates what is left of me.
Drifting, Floating
Consciousness without conclusion.
I am nowhere & everywhere
I am one with the seven seas
I thrive as such in perpetuity
Drifting, Floating for eternity.
