Dark Blue Poem by Jessy Liz

They swallow me, drink me in. They take me under to their world, and I let myself fall. This place holds little light, yet I can see as if it were a winter's day. I do not grow weary, or ever question as we sink away from an ambiguous sun. The dark blue of this place takes me in, drenches me in its color, and I let it.... for I am part of it now. It is not cold here. It is truth. A truth that seems not to chill nor warm the spirit- my fingers and toes and even my soul feel too much for any bias of a physical sense. Down here I have lost all sense but one- the sixth. Deep beneath those waves hurled by the hands of God, there are answers. Here in this forgotton place. Here in the unknown. In this dark blue ocean, miles beneath anything at all. I find peace. Down here alone where I can see neither my fingertips, nor the breath I breathe, nor my own ache or any sin or sign of a tangible world, I find myself.
