The Last Flood

Massing waves drummed offshore
Above them a partnered wind blew
Together they prepared to war
Against what I once knew

The dark and cold green vastness 
Carried forward my waterloo 
Upon the rocks it did press
Against what I once knew

So when the gray shadowed the land 
It darkened my final view 
Soon the waves crossed the sand
And took all that I once knew
