Aquatic Sleep

The sky was dark
Liquid and luminous,
The countless stars
Glowed like blobs
On the glassy waves
Under a full moon.

I lay on a raft
Floating aimlessly
Towards my doom
With flying fish whirring
Overheard and the giant
Tuna darting underneath the
Waves escaping killer whales
And giant squid.

I floated under
A panoply of stars
In the middle of nowhere
Thinking of the tuna,
And the killer whales,
And the giant squid
Gliding in the deep;
I slowly surrendered
To the sea
Sinking peacefully
Into an
Aquatic sleep,
Embraced
By a beautiful
World.
