Those human voices
Over and over
Human voices
With lost humanity
They shift our shimmer
Into colder depths
Sinuous swimmers
We dive in our play
Bubbles breaking towards the surface
Chasing those voices
That speak such careless words
They have forgotten
As we sink further
That words
Make powerful magic
Sending empires tumbling
Into ruin
We swim to the profound
Upon whispering waters
Chasing truth
And softly spoken words
Away from the clashing brutality
Of those human voices
We will not wake ~ Caroline A. Slee
