The Brine, It Is a Calling

Elusive dreams, I wait on rocky shores Looking out upon the waters of a troubled storm Crashing, tearing, reaching to drag me under Swirling about my ankles, slick rocks beneath my feet. Will you reach for me when I am falling? Will you watch me as I drown? Will you feel any sorrow if I left you? Would you help me find solid ground? Siren voices whisper and entice me Foggy mists beyond my reach Dancing, calling, whispering of a silent sleep, If I but release my hold and swim in waters deep.
