The sun
A burning orb of light
Submersing me with its glow
I am drowning in its rays

The forest
A cooling range of green earth
Covering me with its shade
I am drowning in its darkness

The air
An everlasting tarp of life
Encompassing me with its immensity
I am drowning in its vastness

The ocean
A shimmering puddle of water
Surrendering me to its depths
I am drowning in its wetness
