The sunlight plays on the waves overhead

and reaches me in fractured rays.

It is a warm light,

in this cold, dark place.

It is a welcoming light,

in this frightening, foreboding place.

It is a waning light

as I sink deeper, further from it’s hope.

The sun’s rays no longer reach me

As I drift among the rays of the ocean floor.

I am scared.

I am new here.
