a pale grey is over head i m dragging feet in the sand it grows inside to return instead and still i ll take my chances here alone as the sun surely rises i will toil beneath the waves the scent of sea air lingers in my lungs at the end of the day this is my dominion through clear water i can see all the past i ve been here wading through forests of plant like monstrosities to think i would ever find such riches beneath the oceans wide sinking down to the depths of my demise as the seas turn dark and frightening immersed i ve been in self righteous findings i fade in lieu of reflecting within high on martian life my body begs for rest in this cavern s peaceful eye impending death before me i ll catch my breath before i leave somehow i ll press on in spite it s a vast ocean that i am becoming i fade in lieu of reflecting within all i am is this me this shard of earth cast from within the darkened sea risen at last to drink the warmth of the sun is free i m not tired i m not afraid i know i ll stay here for a while i m not tired i m not afraid i know i ll stay here for a while1
