The ocean is big, full of creatures,
each is unique with similar features,
each swimming toward the surface,
closer, closer, closer,
swim faster, or drownd underwater.
Salty sea spray ascends, over this cliff,
greeting my feet, my body is stiff,
Just a step, just one inch,
closer, closer, closer,
two stepped in, one winner, one loser.
The sun is setting, over the water,
a time ripe for dieing, never better,
one step down, water now coming,
closer, closer, closer,
one hand reaches out, then another.
The ocean is big, full of creatures,
each is unique with similar features,
each swimming toward the surface,
closer, closer, closer,
swim faster, or drownd underwater.
Sun shines bright, heart begins to race,
she sits by me, one hand on my face,
my heart burning, warmth getting,
closer, closer, closer,
her hand grabs mine, then another.
