Swarming, surging, desperate into the rabid yonder

Sea and sky kaleidoscopically mingled; no barrier between air or water

Down a beckoning trail of rainbow bubbles, I wander

∘˙○˚.•🌊∘˙○˚.•

Floating on waves of angst, past mistakes I ponder

Floating, falling, alternating rapidly on my contemplative trek to nowhere

Swarming, surging, desperate into the rabid yonder

∘˙○˚.•🌊∘˙○˚.•

Every breath a curse, yet not one I’d squander

Desperately gasping each pass through pockets of exhaled prayer

Down a beckoning trail of rainbow bubbles, I wander

∘˙○˚.•🌊∘˙○˚.•

Swallowing gallons of frigid water

Choking and retching in the filtered glare

Swarming, surging, desperate into the rabid yonder

∘˙○˚.•🌊∘˙○˚.•

Undertow, continually catches me out in silent slaughter

Memories, attacking from every route, in psychological warfare

Down a beckoning trail of rainbow bubbles, I wander

∘˙○˚.•🌊∘˙○˚.•

My story, shredded and buried at sea

Tossed and drowned, in my efforts to retrieve every lost bit of me

Down a beckoning trail of rainbow bubbles, I wander

Swarming, surging, desperate into the rabid yonder
