Oceanic Soul

Suspended
Holding my breath
Preparing for the next dive
I swore I'd never
Enter this ocean again
But it's the ocean where
I thrive.

I long to venture out
Past the coral reef
Into the calming depth
Or
Crashing waves
Swim with the knowledge
This ocean is mine.

My soul is as deep as
The ocean
If not
Deeper
I'll swim every depth of her
Or spend a lifetime trying
There is irreverent, infinite
Calm in this ocean deep
Treasures of my soul
Priceless treasures to reap.
