Oceans Away (Ending Revised!)

Talking to me,
With a serious smile,
Tense posture and gesture.
You`ve talked for a while.

Financial report.
Papers to sort
Emails on ‘’high importance”
Not easy - I thought,

Now I`m trapped in a lighthouse.
3 poems away,
Encased by glass walls,
Over towering waves.

Disbelief,
So, I reach for the stairs,
Down two at a time,
Stone, darkness and bare.

A handle I seek,
Quivering hands that grip,
To enter. And to exit.
A wooden door frame.

2 Poems away.
Fluid. I`m floating
I`m sinking, that`s strange
In water – I`m coping.

But I must escape

Sunlight
Swim upwards,
Reach for the sky.
Breaching – I surface
I`m nervous and I realise.

I`m 1 poem away.
But out in the ocean.
Treading and dreading
I`m lost and it's hopeless.

My world shakes.
As the waters quake
Opened my eyes
Though I`m already awake
“Are you even listening?”

Hi all, hope you enjoyed! Thank you all for your suggestions! Although I only had room to write one more Stanza! I reckon a part 2/revised version showcasing your ideas might be in the waters! Thanks, guys!!!

Also,
I just wanted to let you know that this is one of the poems that I am hoping to enter into my first ever poetry competition outside of Cosmo! It`s called Erbacce Press and 1st and 2nd place receive publishing rights for a poetry book.
