Whilst I was drowning

falling to the ocean bed

wilting

my scales rotting

lying at the bottom of the sea

I happen to think of you.

A smile slowly came to my lips.

Not that I miss you but our love was true.

Slowly I began to rise and start to swim

up past the seahorses and dolphins

one more stroke and I will reach the surface.

Now just to float on the waves and await another sunrise.
