Underwater Oddity

Underwater oddity
A descent into the abyss
Bluer, bluer till it gets
Total blackness

Onward, below
A shadow overturned
Absorbed in the deep
Ravelling in twilight
As the light gets darker
I keep on sinking down
When the light is over
I explore the untold
The ocean is my dome

I'm on my own
This time it might go wrong
I drown in the dark
Abiding hazard
Perennial undertow
Midnight has come
This cold black I breathe in

Underwater oddity
A descent into the abyss
Bluer, bluer till it gets
Total blackness
