Oh Penelope
Are you filled with air
Swallowed oxygen
That makes you float up?
Is it dropsy?
Will your lungs swell?
It’s depressing me
To see you struggle
Are you filled with air
Swallowed oxygen
That makes you float up?
Is it dropsy?
Will your lungs swell?
It’s depressing me
To see you struggle

Recently I had a dream where I was drowning... In the beginning I was panicing, trying to fight my way to the surface. But as I grew weaker, I started to give up and just float. My chest was burning, along with my throat, and salt water was stinging my eyes, nose and throat. Just before I 'lost consciousness' (or woke up) a small clownfish floated in front of me, inches from my face, and then nuzzled itself against me... like a hug, almost. I imagined him saying, "Don't struggle. I'll be with you until the end. Just... let go." And I did.
Despite the pain, it was the best dream I've ever had.
I may redo this... don't really like the big blob that is supposed to be Uoneko XD Maybe I'll add in that mystery clownfish, too.
