Coming Home Beneath the Sea

. I looked up to the sky. Saw shimmers glowing in the dark.

Ancient lights that never hurry. Burning steady where they are. Oh,

and all comes over me. I feel it through the bending waves.

My whole self shudders, slowly waking. Humbled in terror's grace.

Their faithful blaze feels old and wise. I ache to rise and find

home among their lights. So whisper threads then I like song.

But loyal to the water, I let it drift on. Down here the

sea keeps me close. Says stay in my depths and you'll grow.
