Deeper.
Take me deeper.
Take me to the darkest depths
where the sunlight
cannot reach.
Take me down,
down,
down,
where the pressure squeezes me,
surrounding me in a salty chill.
Heart pumping.
Fins propelling.
Warmth rising from within.
Take me down to those depths
where my toothy grin
won’t be feared.
Where my light twinkles
like stars filled with wishes.
There, down in those depths,
you will find me.
In the darkest crevices
of conversation
my light will shine.
I am home here in the deep,
I am at peace.
I do not fear what lurks
where the sun cannot reach
for I am here,
and if I am here,
then there are others like me
beaming light into the black.
Searching,
Searching,
Glowing,
Finding,
our shoal.
Discovering ourselves.
