The Deep

Is it peaceful in the deep?

Where the sounds echo in my head
slow and steady,
loud and resounding?

Where the currents embrace my body
moving me along an unmarked map
in a graceful dance with no direction?

Where nature gives its judgement
with ruthless efficiency,
without bias?

Where pain is only physical,
from the cold burning my skin,
not the people tormenting my mind?

Or do demons of solitude
take over,
leaving none sane?
