It took me under then saved my life

Loving water of the earth surrounds me
I wouldn't know that Death had found me
With my young mind still distracted by waves of joy
I wouldn't have known they were just a ploy
It wasn't just love that surrounded me
but the icy depths looking for another soul
me accepting as an offering
for a rare, yet deadly toll
I wish I knew about the horrors of Davey Jone
if only I paid attention to the warnings it shown
It's deadly grip upon me
It's ambigous arms I couldn't flee
I swam for shore
until my strength was no more
my body powerless as it drifted on
floating in the ocean
that had no remorse
I felt something
saying I could not give up
that it wasn't my time
telling me
I have not sipped from life's cup
with new resolution
I gained more constitution
even with the delusion
of my own execution
I hit my fingers into the now caring ocean
still angry as I still had much of it's potion......in my lungs....I finally hit land at last
