Ancient one…
Easing leisurely …towards the sunlight
To feel the kiss of sun …once more…
Pushing steadily, purposely forward
…from the depths…
Surfacing briefly …to exhale…
Purge the outgas
…in geysers of recycled air…
Released suddenly
In explosive blasts…
Snatching a few quick breaths…
Hold …repeat…
Building blood gas preserves
Gradually… for many hours…
Till the respiratory recharge …is complete…
Processing …dormant thoughts…
While replaying the pursuit
…of creatures of the depths…
Since the early days and times
Levitation upon …far away past scenes…
Of family …and friends…
Long distant mind streams
Returning …memories…
Ripples …in reflections…
Echoes …of lost hopes
…and dreams…
