Darkness

Poem about darkness rising up and swallowing a person in its murky depths

Tidal waves knocking me
Upon the shore.
Oceans swallowing me
In their depths.
Darkness beckoning me-
Above a light.
Light so hard to see.
Dimming, slowly dying.
The ember is diminishing
Before my eyes.
Crying out one
Last chance.
One last chance.
Not enough.
Never enough.
Hitting me
Swallowing me
Beckoning me
Darkness.
