Deep Of The Water Comments

Very dramatic and well-expressed. I like the progression by repetition. Life is really like a river in flood sometimes, a tsunami. And death is never far away. I second Alex Drax's comment and suggestion, though of course there are other sources of peace and coping.

Ever tried Scuba diving. Whenever I feel down and morose, I head down to the ocean and put on my gear and head to the deepest parts of the ocean around, as far as the mixture in my tank and the suit allows, I stay there for a long time. I stay there in silence and in the dark murky depth, it always brings peace to me. When I surface, I am recharged and refresh, all the sadness is gone and I feel reborn and all the memories which triggered by sadness dissipate and lie dormant. Maybe thats what the water is telling you, to come in it's depths and be freed of all your sadness. Water is the greatest purifier for the soul.

Great description..you bring out the feeling of despair perfectly well..well written!
