Wild sea feasts on me, eats away my feet
Erodes resolve roll on relentlessly drowning
Incessantly in turbulent turmoil break
Wave after wave diminished surfacing
Inch after inch coastline disappears to dark
Lighthouse signs "hold on" in mirrored sun
Disappears at the horizon where gannets
Curiously watch while fly over helpless being
Vultures in white clothes and orange beaks
Disguised death scream and smile nevermore.
