Adrift/Afloat

I want to be adrift this water
My back would touch the pearls of calm,
Nothing like the tip of knife.
My paranoia finally at rest, I sigh.

I want to be adrift this water.
May be the fishies gulp some air at me
And some may even jump yet
I would be at peace with their intent.

I want to float around in this water,
Because it would do its best
To not let me fall once it permits.
I won't fear the lifelessness when it hits.

I want to splash on in this water.
Gripping me from below the benthos.
I can kick I can turn
I can slide I can run.

I want to lie afloat this water,
The microscopic colonnade of the columns
For they will form me into a shape
Finally an identity I won't hate.
