The Wave

The Wave The vastness of the ocean An inconceivable body of water The crushing weight cascading As if all of creation came tumbling In the face of such awful power The force of a hundred thrown bags of sand Crashes into where I stand I had tried to run But the water pulled me in it’s grasp only to obliterate In the last moment I turn to face the torrent But I was too late And the crushing boulders Appearing illusively soft Slam into me And what remains is carried away Far into the moving depths of the sea I fall gently through the various zones The water growing dark and cold It takes me an eternity to reach the bottom From here the surface seems stardom And as I rest in perpetual night I see a curious light An Angel approaches me And my heart flutters in ecstasy But something was wrong as it approached As I then understood my distorted hope The Angel understood too and sought to consume But was cut short by its own deity As another monster of the sea struck forth from the gloom Leaving my rotting body Trapped in the vast darkness of the deep sea.
