Sea Struck (Free verse) by Jsylum
The sea, the sea
by night the sea
ten thousand miles empty
beside me
I ebb and flow
along the glow
of the Northern Sea.
Asleep, awake, and dreaming
deep, dark, and lolling,
alone and lonely
onward, through the night
Faith, oh save me
visions I do see
of a horizon
beyond the free.
Beyond the black
and darkened sea,
under the blue expanse
blacker water lies
beneath the thermocline
red and toxic
in my mind
How many creatures
dost thus lie?
scattered, scarred, and battered
heavy under pressure
pressed beneath
the swirling sea.
I float above, now unaware,
in coral foam and deep green deeps
among endless callings of the waves
that lure me from sun struck sleep
into ocean mist and morning haze
and thoughts of Eternity.
