Silent
Still as a standing wave
Looking over the deep sea
And exuding its force and grandeur
I stand here under that wave,
Taking it all in
When the wave crashes upon the sand
The extent of its smash reaches farther
Up and up and up the shore
To where I stand
Swishing around my feet and
Burying them deep within the grit
The dark sea rolls and toils, churning
Its vast darkness into inevitability
No matter what, where, when
Who, why, nor how
Waiting for you to look out into its
Endless silence and constant ebbing
And cry.
