From the Deep

You tossed me to the waves,

And expected me to drown.

But the oceans cold embrace

Never pulled me down.

Taming currents in my blood,

The sea sang my name

When I discovered Poseidon's wrath

Pooling in my veins.

And with each salty breath,

My rebellious lungs learned to thrive

With the sea raging in my soul

And the blinding lightning in my eyes.

So bring me your darkened skies,

Your deafening thunder and your rain,

And I'll breathe in this whirling maelstrom,

And exhale a hurricane.
