A pale grey is over head

I'm dragging feet in the sand

It grows inside to return instead

And still, I'll take my chances

Here, alone

As the sun surely rises I will toil

Beneath the waves

The scent of sea air lingers

In my lungs at the end of the day

This is my dominion

Through clear water I can see

All the past I've been here

Wading through forests of plant-like monstrosities

To think I would ever find

Such riches..

Beneath the oceans wide

Sinking down to the depths of my demise

As the seas turn dark and frightening

Immersed I've been in self-righteous findings

I fade in lieu of reflecting within

High on martian life

My body begs for rest in

This cavern's peaceful eye

Impending death before me

I'll catch my breath before I leave

Somehow I'll press on in spite

It's a vast ocean that I am becoming

I fade in lieu of reflecting within

All I am, is this me?

This shard of earth

Cast from within the darkened sea?

Risen, at last

To drink, the warmth of the sun

Is free

I'm not tired, I'm not afraid

I know.. I'll stay here for a while

I'm not tired, I'm not afraid

I know.. I'll stay here for a while
