The Perfect Death

As I am floating beneath the waves
My last sight is the crystal blue waves
The thumps beneath my skin, slowly start to fade
I wait for it to come, so I can be set so free
I’ll wake up in the light, light all I can see.
I watch the crystal blue waves
I float beneath the waves
As I feel the icy waves
I feel my family’s laughter, I love them oh so much
As I watch the crystal blue waves…
I disappear through the crystal blue waves
With my last thought, kept safely in my mind.
