Stasis in darkness

There is no flow here
No way out
Like a pool of stagnant water
Blackened putrefaction
Being stirred
But there is no flow here
Stasis in darkness

Darkness closing in
Sqeezing tighter
A dark entrapment, cold embrace
Powerless and immobile
In a dark shell
There is no way out here
Mother of pearl

Or is the dark shell a chrysalis?
When a moonbeam penetrates the black water
Will I find the key to my power
Like the Phoenix rise from darkness
Spread my wings in freedom
And soar to the sky
