The Sea Rages On

The sea rages on Wind hurls–waves toss–water churns The unforgiving depths lie in wait Unfolding rapidly into the abyss of the in between The mouth swallows me whole Drowning–I am drowning in the sea Crashing into crushing spaces Falling. I am falling. Falling into the void of unknown Un-trekked uncharted unmapped un-discovered. I drag along with the bubbles That carry my body Dissolving with the foam sweeping by I do not dare fight The awesome power The ocean cannot listen But my body drags on And after a time My soul washes up To foreign shore And though I know nothing of the future ahead I do not fear The storms of this land Cannot overwhelm me For the sea rages on, that I will have once conquered. The sea rages on
