Bound No Longer

The waves came crashing in

What I was to do was a sin

As I walked toward the sea

I knew my life was meant to be

Gently stepping forward to begin

The coldness began to sink in

Stopping when I was waist deep

Wondering was the path too steep

I turned to look around

Nothing was making a sound

Just the drumming of the waves

Darkening around my soul like a cave

Murkiness started to surround me

My mind knowing it was all I could see

Water began to fill my lungs

My heart started speaking in tongues

As my listless body began to sink

My lungs took that last drink

For in the world around

I am now no longer bound
