"Standing before the ocean, I drift away."

Blue skys turning grey.
A storm heading this way.
The waves crash onto the rocks.
Destroying everything it locks a hold of.
Taking it away.

Standing there.
The wind beneath my hair.
A cold breeze fills the air.
Blowing everywhere.

The waves,
Are what catches my eyes.
Feeling as if I could just fly,
Away and be saved.

Staring past the ocean.
I reach the horizon.
The unknown.

So I drift away.
My pain slightly fades.
My mind clears.
Nothing to fear.
For the heavens are near.

A rain drop falls.
Slides past my check.
I wish this storm would stall.
So I can see what it is I seek.
Every things  is out of my reach.

Trying to understand,
That when I'm gone,
The world will still go on.

I maybe nothing,
That truly matters.
Over time,
I'll be erased.
So for now,
Let me drift away!
