Tide Life

I can't help but
Feel as if sailing
Of this steep cliff
To the dark half
Of the blended spectrum

I've floated in every ocean,
Rode the highest waves,
Sunk in the lowest trenches.
I've moved with all the currents,
Walked on every sea floor.
Watching my breath float up,
To a surface I could only dream about.

Never have I held
A jewel to call my own.
never have I had
So much to lose.

A boy that's fascinated with the sea,
Floating rather than sinking,
Hooked by the fear in his chest.
