Unfinished

I'm on a ship.

I'm on a ship

and I have decided to dive into the water

I have dived into the water

and I'm sinking through turquoise bliss

I have sunk through turquoise bliss

and met a thousand colourful fish

I have met a thousand colourful fish

and everyone of them sings of love

I have heard the song of love from all about

and somehow I'm still sinking

I have continued to sink

and the water is getting darker

The water has turned to midnight ink

and I have forgotten my journey there

I have forgotten my reason to dive

and I'm lost in the marine twilight

I am lost at the bottom of the sea

and I am afraid

I have grown afraid the water

and I am scared of the unknown

I am afraid of what I don't know

and I'm lost at the bottom of the sea

I'm lost at the bottom of the sea

and then I find something

I find something beneath my feet

and it is the ocean floor

I have found the ocean floor

and I'm no longer lost

I am no longer lost

and I don't know where I am

I don't know where I am

and I'm not afraid of that.

I'm not afraid of being lost on the ocean floor

and then the ground shifts

I'm afraid of the ground shifting

and I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

and I want to stay where I am now comfortable

I want to stay right where I am

and I keep sinking into the mud

I sink into the mud

and I become part of the sea floor

I become part of the sea floor

and I'm afraid of the endless earth

I am afraid of the endless earth

and I know why

I know why I'm afraid of the endless earth

and I don't want to be.

I don't want to be afraid of the earth

and suddenly I'm not

I'm not afraid of the ground around me

and again I find peace

Again, I find peace

and again I start to sink

I sink through this comforting and unfamiliar mud

and I feel something peculiar

I feel something strange

and I feel it on my foot

I feel a sensation on my foot

and it feels like fire

I feel fire on my foot

and soon I feel it as well

I am on fire

and all around me is flames

I am surrounded by flames

and I can see a river in the distance

I can see a sliver of relief in the distance

and I sprint towards it

I run wildly towards the river

and I arrive through the flames

I arrive at the river in the distance

and I find it is no ordinary river

I find this river is not ordinary

and I am frightened

I am frightened by the river

and I don't know why

I don't know why the river frightens me

and then I see the boat

I see the boat

and I see the captain

I see the captain

and I recognize him as Death

I recognize the captain as Death

and he recognizes me as I

Death recognizes me

and welcomes me aboard

I am welcomed aboard the vessel

and I look down upon the river

I look down into the river

and I see it is endlessly deep

I see the river is endlessly deep

and I make a decision

I'm on a ship

I'm on a ship

and I have decided to...
