Darkness At The Sea
written by: Lucretia T. Knight
@LucretTKnight
At the beach I sit,
Ensconced in misery.
Darkness descends,
Enveloping me like a
Welcoming blanket
After a chill.
Remaining light diminishes,
The darkness deepens,
Stretching its raven wings
Over me,
Deeper and deeper,
Obsidian reigning.
I am the darkness,
The darkness is me.
Recognition.
Dawn returns,
Growing ever lighter,
The horizon appears.
A gift from the dark,
A transformation.
Human bondage shed
Legs and feet no more.
One right, one left,
Two flippers,
Scaly and fanning.
The water beckons,
Depths breathing
My name in sighs.
I rise on alien legs,
Begging for immersion.
I stumble into the waves.
Each stroke,
Diving deeper
and deeper,
A sensing
Though the abyss
Of leviathans,
Gawking, gaping, hungering.
My monsters awaiting me.
I hope you enjoy my writing. It has been a childhood dream that no longer is satisfied with the shadows, but now lives in the light.
