Lost To the World

Lost to the world I walked across shore Taking in sweet wind and scent of fine ocean I barely could figure out a form As I felt sand wash off my feet I marveled at the beauty of deep waves An array of words left unspoken Shivering in cold beside myself with fear I could feel my waist move as if to dance To unplayed music heard by me alone All feelings came flooding back As piercing eyes made my neck crawl I saw a hound of beings approach I could hear the raging storm roar Perplexed I backed away in awe In such solitude there was nowhere to turn Shadow of blurry faces loomed close To consume that turmoil that raged within Ready to pounce I shivered in shock Frail figure was swallowed up By lingering crowd of haunting eyes Dark waters flowed to wipe away any trace Of life which was once hearty Then they disappeared one by one As though they were never there before.
