The black sea

The coast, eerie in the pale moonlight
Beneath my feet the crunch of sand
Soft slapping of the tide as it breaks
The crash of water against the land
The moonlight pours down and bathes me
White and black in the nights landscape
I turn and look out to sea
Nothing but nothing cast out before me
The glow from above is swallowed up
Eaten by the blackness
Nothing but the sounds of the sea
Wordless speech of the abyss
My eyes fall to scan the coastline
Mirrored horizon becons me near
To walk upon the sheen of abscence
To reach up high and scrape the moon
To feel black glass beneath my toes
Un-hindered by gravity or reason
The smoothness of the satin black
Its malignant evil emenates
I choose a rock to shatter the surface
Skipping stone to be cast alone
To break the un-ending darkness
To sink and be swallowed by the hungry sea
