At Depth

In my presence with a blank stare,
Venture where no one would dare,
Yet, gone like wind, life is half as fair.

Arms stroking further down,
Where paddles never met
ground,
Where ironically It isn't to be found.

There it is!
Aye, it is!
Mine, it now is!

You are stripped of air!
Flip back-round towards the glare!
Paddle, flippered feet, be that fair.

You reach the surface only to note,
Not in a boat;
But afloat.

My power set you free
But for a fee
For all the air from thee.
