To Sleep in a Sea of Silence

To sleep in a sea of silence:

To sleep in a sea of silence

no sound no life

not even candlelight 

lungs made of water

one last minute

your heart gives out 

now floating there weightless

In a sea of raging wind 

My mind disintegrating 

In the sadness of the ocean 

Water so empty 

Like the missing heartbeat 

If I could be reborn 

why now why me

just before the storm 

escaping tears in water unseen 

tearing limbs and fragile air 

this ocean is to much to bare 

To sleep in a sea of silence 

swept under the depths 

battered lungs and stolen breath 

For I will succumb to death
