Dark Water

On a cold, dark, blackened night
I walk along the shoreline
The bright moon glows
And shines its light upon the ocean
Illuminating the crystalline waters
It whisks me away to heavenly solitude

As my eyes slowly shut
The lashes calmly lower and click silently against my face
All I see is darkness
I feel a shifting in my kneecaps
And hear a chuckle
I think the ocean is talking to me

And I awaken from my trance
Hoping that I may feel that peace again
