Obsessed with breaking beautiful
I dive into crystal clear waters
Must break the surface as the sun
gets swallowed by the horizon
It is in this reckless hour, when darkness falls
and the ocean comes to life, predators
are on the prowl and I am most vulnerable
There is no room for mistake
Still I dive, seeking the soft sand
and treasures buried just beneath
Sometimes reward is not found
until you search beneath calm waters
The desperation to find serenity
hidden in a world of danger is
the spark and the madness that
brings courage to my wearied soul
Struggling to fill my lungs with
the sweetness of fresh air, I found my prize….
truth is not always beautiful but can
always be found if you dig deep enough
