Dead Sea

My life, is slowly fading.

Waves crashing on the shore

I stare out at that setting sun

My feet in the sand and my heart so torn

Thinking that the darkness has won

It forever takes the happiness that's born

So I wait as the water wades to the shore

The tide comes in and hits my feet

I wait until it comes in even more

Letting the water wash up to my knees

Fear is something I can't afford

I wait as the sun disappears behind the sea

The harsh waves begin to pull at my feet

Detaching me from this broken shore and setting me free

I got what I wanted, a chance to finally meet

The ones that I had lost, the ones long forgotten in this endless sea.

This is a wonderful piece. It flows beautifully and paints a vivid picture. I can feel this sense of dread and loss while I read it. Truly fantastic.

I love how you associate the "endless sea" with those that you've lost. It gives me this sense of hopelessness and really brings the poem to life.

Thank you for sharing.
