Dive

darkness dwells in the deep,

and for the sake of your little light,

you never dared to dive, oh sailor. 

sailor who never swam.

but a tempest tears your soul in two,

raising tide against tide.

thoughts of despair 

fill your mind with salt water

till an ocean of woes

aches your head, forcing it to bow.

yet, somewhere in that cloudy calamity,

possibility roars and your spirit sparks.

hope helps your heart to leap

into the eye of the storm,

despite the thunder

regardless of lightning.

the current will electrify you

if only you would breathe in,

let down your anchors,

and dive.
