Bury me at Sea

Set afloat in the waters of Darkness.

My lungs filling with liquid,

Viscous and suffocating.

Am I dead yet?

If not then I wish to stay,

stay in the water that calls my soul to sleep.

As my organs fail I truly understand,

exactly what this life means to me.

If I survive the drowning,

I may return to this semblance of living.

But please take note of a single request,

regardless of outcomes,

regardless of consequence.

I wish to be buried at sea

This is incredibly intense. I've many times imagined the sea as a living being - powerful, dangerous and seductive. And these words match that perfectly, equal parts mesmerising and sinister. Beautifully crafted piece. You have quite the way with words, sir!
