My Blue World

by Lana M.

I know a place where the world is still
where time and space have no hold
I know a place where my heart and soul are one
and there are stories left untold

I know a place where I rest in peace
where my body lies numbed to pain
where my eyes lie opened to the light above
And I've broken gravity's chain

I know a place
Where I must leave as seconds pass
my frail mortality cannot stand against its grave
and my lungs shatter like glass

I know a place so wonderful and deadly
It pulls me into deep
Oh my deep blue ocean world
I'll return to you after the surface pulls you from me.
