Mar 2013
Sea
Water splashes against the rocks
The sweet dew mist intertwined with the salty spray
The sun sets with its infinite golden locks
A dazzling beauty closing her eyes to the world
The stars playfully peek into the sky
As the I listen to the music of the tide
The sand cradling each of my toes
The smell of life tickling my nose
The sun blinks its final goodbye
As the moon takes its place in the sky
Casting a light of deep ocean blue
On a the souls of the earth renewed
Quick flashes of tails in the sea
Show excitement is brewing under the waves
The final night began in this way

Slowly with strength crawled upon land
Creatures with features never before seen by man
Only half could stand
the others wobbled and toppled again and again
Throughout the beach the life did come
With the start of a whisper the noise begun
Whsssssiiit hisssssssiip gullump tisssslip
Each vibration echod with bliss
Louder and louder the noises grew
The silence evaporated gone to the moon
The earth began to shake
The water began to rise
The universe was called to this spot of a lonely souls demise
For this was my death, this was their goodbye
Curled up on the beach with no one around
Just the creatures of the sea and their music in which I drown
They swarm, they gather, they flock, they gaggle
They're close to me no time for hassle
The last few breaths tease my lungs
As the wind picks me up to the rhythm of the waves
The creatures breath filled with emotions of love
Of the memories of me walking here day after day
Floating towards the sea
To my eternity
No feelings of grief
No sense of regret
I am just one more leaf
On this island shipwrecked

Floating off into the sea
My final thought was one of joy
A smile born as the body dies
