Waters of infinite colors
Mysterious and hidden from me
Alone but surrounded by a thousand islands
Full of enchanted stories
I drowned but lived
The delicate touch changed
Every second
Every day
Every century
So frightening yet so calm
No wave of destruction
Just the reduction of the world as it slipped right pass me
Staring at the mystical land I have never seen and will never see again
I swimmed for as long as my mind could tell and then realized
I had not moved a single inch
