I float through the darkness,
Gravity finds no foothold on my body.
The tiny creatures come up to my face,
they look in my eyes, questioningly.
They are confused,
"What are you doing here?" they seem to ask.
"I came to visit you, it's been a long time."
They laugh and take off,
"Catch us if you can then!"
I move silently towards them.
The ocean bottom is a painting,
colors thrown in all directions.
As if thrown at random, to create such beautiful order.
The burning at my lungs reminds me this is not my reality.
And so I say my adieus, and the fish, teary eyed, bid their farewells.
Perhaps another time, another place.
