Carson Ray... 1989 If I should die beneath the sea -- What e'er the circumstance may be -- I only ask that you not cry For such a lucky one as I. But, rather, weep for those alive Who know not what it is to dive Into the planet's liquid heart And of God's ocean be a part. For even Christ must envy all Who dive along the ocean's wall; Though wind and sea His will obeys, He only walked upon the waves. And may I ask for one thing more? A simple cross beside the shore. Below my name inscribe for me: Lost to the earth, but found at sea. |
I fall in love with this poem immediately because that is EXACTLY how I feel. I wanted to write something similar but obviously, my English is not up to mark yet to write something as beautiful as this. When I read it, I felt like I am the one who wrote that… because that’s my exact thoughts. Such an amazing feeling when you read something that feels like it’s been written from your mind.
