Red Sky Harbor

A pale grey

Is over head

I'm dragging feet

In the sand

It grows inside

To return instead

And still I'll take

My chances

Here alone.



As the sun surely rises I will toil beneath the waves

The scent of sea air lingers in my lungs at the end of the day.



This is my dominion

Through clear water I can see

All the past I've been here

Wading through forests of plant-like monstrosities.



To think I would ever find such riches

Beneath the oceans wide

Sinking down

To the

Depths of my demise

As the seas turn dark and frightening.



Immersed I've been in self-righteous findings

I fade in lieu of reflecting within.



High on martian life

My body begs for rest in this cavern's peaceful eye

Impending death before me, I'll catch

My breath before I leave

Somehow I'll press on in spite.



It's a vast ocean that I am becoming

I fade in lieu of reflecting within.



All

I am

Is this me?

This shard of earth

Cast from within

The darkened sea.



Risen

At last

To drink

The warmth of the sun

Is free.



I'm not tired

I'm not afraid, I know

I'll stay here for a while

I'm not tired

I'm not afraid, I know

I'll stay here for a while.
