The only light I’ve ever known was my own,
Or the light from my brothers and sisters far below.
My light is dimming and everything feels quite grim.
So I ascend,
For I know I'm nearing my end.
From the blackest abyss,
To the ultramarine,
And every hue in between.
I just want to be known,
To be seen as me before I go,
Because no one saw me down below.
The waters lighten as the rays slice the darkness,
And I see everything in a razor sharpness.
Up, and up, and up I go,
The journey is perilous and slow.
My minute body flows with the currents,
Where I meet the water and air convergent.
Finally, I make it to the surface of the sea,
To see a light that didn’t come from me.
Its so beautiful, serene, and bright.
I won't go frightened into that good night.
On my last day,
I will float and soak in the eternal sunlight.
