What A Beautiful World Under....

it is when you
lost the desire for air
that you decide
to jump into the deep sea
from a cliff

you want to drown
yourself
and be gone for good

but the rainbow colors
of the fish
the corals that look like
flowers beside the
hill
the greenish blue color
of enchantment
of where you find yourself
simply
negate your
desire to end it all

you pause, take your final gaze
then you begin to rise
up to the water and take
a grasp

of precious air....
