She Beckons Me
Offering sanctuary,
a soulful sea summons me.
And uttering soothing sounds
promises to set me free.
Cascading breakers mimic
the applause of clapping hands.
A whisper on the wind, She
draws me to her shifting shores.
Reproaching insanity,
I turn my back on the sea.
And start to admonish Her
for the way She beckons me.
Death awaits me; the moment
I acquiesce to Her plea.
Yet amidst my tears and pain,
She speaks of tranquility.
