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.
