Gull and gobble

 

 

A million miles away

Upon an isle distant and gray

Lies-A whale distended

Full of dismay

 

Backing in the sun

A raisin under gun-the knife

Drying and sinking away

 

Gulls calling-falling!

Descending-Come whatever

Whatever may-

Come my way

Day of Yule tidings

Dawn of the day-Call!

 

The blunt truth

The beak of the beast

Nibbling at the flesh

Strands of eternity downed

As the raison whale shrivels-

Further, away from the sea

A shining site

Being not to be

Any longer

Any stronger

Come Along

Whatever came?-

Washed my way

Really touching! The word choice that you used and the imagery that you used was so inspired!
Good Write!

A REALLY touching and compelling piece...there is so much said in these lines and I am glad to have come across it. Life is such a precious gift yet it's wasted "away." Excellent write, my friend :)
