Vibrant,
sanguinary hues and tones,
Capturing
the crimson skies and bleeding the crepuscular into the
Eyes
of commiserating children.
Sitting
at the cliff's edge, a liminal precipice, I watch as the
Storm
rages in psychedelic perturbation.
The
sea promises to caress me, corrode me and
Return
me to my primordial home.
Then
she joins me and sits next to me.
She
is young and small as I am.
We
sit and stare at the sea.
We
hold hands.
We
are together, we are safe, we are one.
The
sea moves in closer, higher, reaches out to us with
Aquarius
solicitation and we do nothing
But
wait, for this is our destiny, our end, our Nirvana.
She
is scared, why is she scared?
Why
is she startled?
The
sea is our mother, our home?
And
then He arrives.
The
air changes subtly, deftly, with sinister undertones,
The
sea backs away with caution (for it knows a predator when it senses
one),
He
places his dangerous hands upon Her as
My
spirit stirs in spiritual consternation.
The
scene has changed.
It
is not safe anymore.
I
am not afraid,
I
am in a state of sombre resignation.
The
sea fades, the presence pulls back and I am left alone once more.
