Observe

Suffocated by
the waves of monotony
Crashing down over me
The shadow stretches far beyond
the ever spreading reach of Imagination
I am enveloped
My breath escapes and
I reach out!
toward what I hope
is the shore
I fight!
Until the void smothers
my stifled scream and
the salty water rushes in
Crushing my heart
Saturating my mind
With the sting of salt
Purified
The stone where hunger
once lie now cold
Metallic and bitter
I sink
The surface ever further away
Moonlight filters down and
my eyes are wide open
I breathe and
Observe.
