Swim Slowly, Use Caution

Without boundaries, it exists swirling

existing in the air around you, never within

light and kind

warming you from the outside in.

Wrapping its arms around you like the warm tortilla of a burrito

gentle squeeze, reminding you you are not alone

Like sunlight at the edge of an ocean

brightening the soul, the skin, the mind

showering with soft petals,

in truth,

it lives

deep,

down

where there is no light

like the absolute bottom of the ocean.

a flashlight and oxygen tank your only tools to survival

the only way out: Swim slowly, Use caution
