Three Women & The Sea

She said that water had an
Even depth where monsters lay
She said she knew they'd drag her
To her death beneath the spray
I feel so creatures would envelop
Her she only knew
That die she would a tragic
Victim and a martyr too

Sisters united, sisters divided
Sisters united, sisters divided by the sea

She said she had a feel the sea
Would take her breath from her
It's all pervading flow would fill
Her lungs without a can
As useless limbs betrayed her weakened
Might the ocean's might
She'd slip away beneath the brook
Into the endless night

I said I feared the blackness
Feared the things I couldn't see
Of water black as ink, blackness to infinity
I guessed for hours with a fear
But with a longing too
To disappear completely and to
Live a life anew
