Dreaming

They came in the night
And took my love
They took my love away.
And far off to the ocean
Down beyond all commotion
They sat and waited for me.
So I dove and I swam
Gave chase to the edge
Of the darkness, a trench so deep
No longer could I
Sight my quarry, and so
I sat and waited for time.
An eternity passed
Along with another
So long was I waiting down there.
Green algae grew to a mossy beard
Down to my seaweed toes
Silver fish wove between
My coral hair
Making it home so dear.
And when I awoke,
I sat up with a start
No longer at the mercy of whim
A breeze wafted through
My opened window,
Bringing the scent of the sea.
