Trigger Warning
Between two high notes
The song gives a crack
Long enough
To allow me to enter
Like a fish jumping back
Into the night water
Both the fish and I leave no
Trace behind us, and the world
Remains undisturbed as we swim
Deeper and deeper in blue silence
Upon my return, I find the music
Still going on, while the fish has
Disappeared into the unknown
This poem is so quiet in its beauty. I appreciate every line.
