There is something down there in the water

Deep, deeper than we dare to travel

Unimaginable horror

Those creatures that fuel nightmares

Unfathomable dread

Memories travel

Genetic thread

Fear lives on

Deep down

Deep....

life is suffering

and then, suddenly, it’s not

oh, a brief respite

from the heat of the summer

this moment that will not last

death is a just peace

and, somehow, I am fearful

oh, what irony,

that the cold of the winter

would haunt our brightest moments...

my love for you grows

and so does the universe.

infinitely warm

like all the stars in the sky.

but who could count all the stars?

I’m counting the stars

as I await your return,

together again.

tomorrow, love, and if not,

then tomorrow’s tomorrow....
