Submerged in Silence
Two taps on my shoulder
My confirmation
Its time
One last glance
Surrounded
Surrounded by a world so bright
So busy
So
Loud
One step and
SPLASH!
Noise
Noise slowly slips away
A welcome deafness
To all but my own breathing
As the waves effortlessly put life on mute
Adrift in an endless sea
Both physical and mental
All negativity marooned on surface
I float silently in serenity
At peace with myself
In a world that is not my own
And yet this place whispers
Sweetly
Of home
My confirmation
Its time
One last glance
Surrounded
Surrounded by a world so bright
So busy
So
Loud
One step and
SPLASH!
Noise
Noise slowly slips away
A welcome deafness
To all but my own breathing
As the waves effortlessly put life on mute
Adrift in an endless sea
Both physical and mental
All negativity marooned on surface
I float silently in serenity
At peace with myself
In a world that is not my own
And yet this place whispers
Sweetly
Of home

Author's Note
This poem is about the peace I find when scuba diving. I see it as an escape from the stress and overstimulation caused by a chaotic life. All the noise, both inside and around me calms for those brief moments beneath the waves.
