One lone swimmer floats
In a sea of sameness
Searching for light
In a world of darkness
Trying to find some color
In a world of shades of gray
Seeking out solace
From the pain and disarray
Diving through murky depths
Translucent enough to see
Just enough to make out
A small haven of safety
And infinitesimal glow of hope
In an ocean of desolation
Where one can find peace
Without infinite isolation
The gentle glow spreads warmth
As the swimmer dives deeper
The final resting place
For our salvation seeker

I do like the colour trend you have at the beginning, though having light and darkness played directly against each other is a cliche. Cliches aren't always bad mind you, but it's usually a good idea to try and avoid them. I don't really like the word "sameness" since it does seem like it's grasping at straws a bit. Yes it is a real word but it doesn't find its way into speech very often and ends up feeling a bit alien because of it I think. I can't be sure, since I'm absolutely awful for measuring beats and meter but I think infinitesimal might be a few too many syllables for the line it's in. In any case I think you might want to stick 'an' in front of it rather than 'and'. Can't be sure that's a typo but I think it might be.
I love your ending, the diction for it is spot on. I do think some punctuation would do wonders for this though. In short, I think the beginning is a bit weak, there might be a few problems with the rhyme and the meter but the ending is excellent.
