Swallow the Planet

I look over the side of the boat
The ocean
Engulfing everything in it's way

Taking life from anything
Present
And never looking back

Blacker then night
Evil
Mysterious killer

My hair whipping my face
Wind
The oceans' ally 

Pushing full force
Toward
The living's death

It thrashes like wild
Tigers
Waiting for meat

And then the sun breaks the
Horizon
Brightening the world

And silencing the black killer
Until
Darkness swallows the world again...
