A Deep Sea Dream

Writer: Sammi MarieSammi Marie

now I lay me down to sleep,

dreams are here but appear weak

I sink lower

it gets colder.

am I'm home?

where is my home?

each beat is a bit too weak

you couldn't see it as it hit me

not the sharks nor those who lurk in the dark

it was the ring you didn't cut.

my throat felt full

but here I am once again

another body

a spirit has gone to another sea

yet here I lay

begging thee

I pray the Lord, my soul, to keep

no, I'm too deep

I'm in the sea

I'm not sure you can see me

but here I lay in the sand

with each breath

a wave you can.

a bit too deep

I may be

but the fish can hear me

as we drift and dive.

I can't help but wonder why.

if I should die before I wake

would you tell me why

why are the fish so calm

why are the turtles gone

is that coral

why has it been bleached

am I alive

or did the plastic take my time

was that a jellyfish?

or the bag you didn't mean to leave

I pray the Lord, my soul, to take.

it's my time

I pray I'm fine

but here I lay

its only time

the plastic in my throat

the seaweed in my hair

I'm drifting on the seabed

it's my time

now I'm dead.
