I notice it already,
the shortness
of breath
the tightness
in my chest
I don’t want to venture
below
the surface
the shallows
are safe
and known
the deep
is murky
and unclear
yet
something
draws
me
under
a faint glimmer
in the gloomy dark
a hint that
perhaps
there
is treasure
to be found
so, I breathe
deep
and dive
