Caught in a Bioluminescent Maelstrom



If someone said to me, “If you could be anywhere in the world, where would you go?” 
I’d reply with “the Maldives, on an island at night under the beautiful stars and the glowing ocean with bioluminescent plankton”

Because that’s the god honest truth

And the true feeling I have in almost every fibre of my being is that I’m there & I made it,
 but I realise that I’m not standing on the island
 I’m treading water
I’m alone in the illuminated sea

but it’s unbelievably out of this world beautiful and the stars have never looked more clear. 
But it’s been days now and the sun hasn’t come up and I can’t keep swimming because I’m starting to grow fatigued then I panic because I should swim harder
but then I can’t because my bones ache 
I remember that I should rest & when I do, 
I fall too much into wallowing and as I stop swimming
I get caught in a maelstrom, off balance
