Grim

I am not certain sea
is always deep,
no-matter its depth -- 

As professed love is sometimes
only speech rehearsed, well prepped.
And the sun, though illustriously
shines, can be blind, victim of 
self undulating light -- 
               as all
stars, in time, blink out~ sliced from 
the heavens by, the eternally appointed,
darkly shrouded, Ever-cleaving Scythe 
of Night....

Got to get a little Gothic every once in awhile. As a kid, Poe was my first introduction to poetry.

Hi Joe; thank you. What the heck. Getting close to Halloween -- felt a little Grim was in order. If we deadly survive Mr. Reaper -- then we have the Guardian At The Gate, which is even more imposing from what I can gather. But God brings us ultimate humility. Nothing gets by Him, without His consent and blessing.
