marine snow
moments flow softly beneath the waves
sunlight and tide brush against the abyss
time drifts past still the water remains
fish seeking food that this sea contains
unseen struggles in the depths persist
moments flow softly beneath the waves
darkness below that’s never seen days
the dark’s many uncounted hours, since
time drifts past still the water remains
drifting bioluminescent stars shining rays
attracting attention despite the risks
moments flow softly beneath the waves
the surface drizzles what death conveys
carcasses detritus some nutritious bits
time drifts past still the water remains
life will continue in the unlit domain
change comes slow yet it doesn’t quit
time drifts past still the water remains
moments flow softly beneath the waves
sunken thought
this sunken ship sleeps down here
memory in the cold deeps down here
coral and anemone fade the shape
but remembrance still keeps down here
silvered fish through broken windows flash
reflections of dim light that seeps down here
sand and soul slowly drifts against the hull
burying memories in heaps down here
seagrass beds shimmer on unseen tides
remembering the springs and neaps down here
I turn my mind back above the seas
and wait out what time that reaps down here
