Outing Into Darkness

Sinking low in fathomless misery The poet seeks an escape vent. Takes this as an outing into darkness A free fall in a gliding motion Into the depth of the ocean Away from the surface storm Knowing he can’t be down beneath bottom, And even there would be swimming With all the life that make it their abode Wrapped in blackness yet luminescent In the filtered glow up from above Dreaming one day to find their way back To the warm hug of sunlight. This affords him a survival, belief-driven, Alike the last breath that hopes a heaven!
