Fathoms

Descend

Tonight, I find myself
Lost in an ocean of stars
Celestial reflections embrace me
Caressed by the waves as
The moon summons them
From the placid surface
Masking the fathoms

Beneath me
A world undiscovered and wanton
Awaits my transgression and beckons
A longing
An aching and stirring desire is calling
Calling on me to descend

Descend
Be one with the hydrosphere
Down into these depths shall I go
Unitе with primordial creation
Unmeasurable fathoms bеlow

Archaic monoliths ever submerged
Ever untouched by the sunlight

Creatures
Far too grotesque and uncanny
Even for your darkest of nightmares
Reside here
Within this tenebrous domain
Starforsaken
Still, I am bound to descend

There is such life in these waters
That none of you ever shall see
Terrestrial life has abandoned me
It is time to return to the sea
