Vanishing Point
Here I am alone
on a deserted beach
the sea is rough
As the waves swell
I walk in the long
shadow I cast before me
Cold is the wind
that slices at my back.
I stand and scan the distant horizon
to see what is coming.
I know not what it will be
only my soul is here
to keep me company
A distance I can not ponder.
A road I can not see
I squint to look past the line of vanishing.
And I only notice how my eyes sting.
I do know not the paths
I have taken before
or the ones I will have traveled upon
From this point on
Something is there
in the distance of the sea
I feel its blur, waiting
And I can only stand
in my shadow cast before me
Knowing the cold slicing me
I scan the distance horizon
The vanishing point of the sea
I can only note how my eyes sting!
