In the depths of a bright blue ocean

One step towards the end 
And your feet began to hurt 
The pain was so great 
But you had to keep going further

And so you keep on walking
Through the arid desert of nothingness
You take off your shoes
And you are barefoot on the burning sand 

Your feet cracked and became hard as rock 
Or at least that is what you felt
The pain was too great that you no longer perceived it 
And a trail of blood lied behind you

You looked back and noticed the blood
You smiled, and continued walking 
Though you were not sure why you smiled 
Or why would a trail of blood bring a spark of happiness to your heart?
The only possible answer was that you've left your trace in the world

Whether some one ever sees it or not
You were content with leaving a bit of yourself in this world 
At least that was done 
And so you took a deep breath and lied down on the burning soil 

The instant touch of your skin with the sand brought warmth to your heart
It would probably be the last time you will ever feel something of the sort
A strong wind hit the ground and formed a twister  
In it you could hear all the voices of the ones you've loved 

And that made all the sorrow in your heart grew bigger and bigger 
Tears dropped from your face and you stand up 
Ready to continue and leave all that behind you 
They will be truly happy now and you will no longer be in pain 

You kept on moving and bleeding 
And when you have finally reached the end of the world 
You saw it, a calm sea, waiting for you to get in 
You never really learnt to swim but that didn't matter 
You jumped in 

The water washed away all of your sorrows 
You were free for the first time
Suffering will never reach your heart ever again 
The depths of a bright blue sea protected you 
Nothing or any one could harm you there
You have found your peace
