Rise

I am rising to the depths of the ocean.

Touching sea lilies 

and feather stars 

Shaking hands with 

tentacles of octopus.

Basking in the luminescence 

of planktons. 

Collecting pearls to take them 

as a proof of my survival in the abyss. 

Darling!

Don't loose your mind 

I am living irony 

I find beauty in the doom 

I don't fall 

But rise in the depths 

of ocean, darkness and the unknown.
