going down under

i go under water
for awhile.
to a place where i hear
no sound
but the beating of my heart.
i sink to the bottom.
my feet in the cold sand
of the ocean.
i look up
towards the light, 
the milky light,
but this icy depth
is where i feel at home.
at least for now.
don't bring me up.
let me stay
a little while longer.
it's safe here,
despite the lack of air.
i can hold my
breath for months 
if i have to.
i've done it before,
and will do it once more.
