Into Silence

 

Into Silence

~


standing here
at cliff’s edge
feeling far below
the great tides

the ebb and flow
the rise and fall
the come and go
of centuries

wave by wave
day by day

pure might incarnate
the power of indifference
the surge of perfect apathy

and I
insignificant
as a grain of sand
bounced and tumbled
helpless in the undertow

and that fringe of froth
on the silken azure blue
rolls in powerfully
then rises up
beckons me

then slides smoothly
down the sloping back
of the ever surging wave
dancing on the deep
reaching to forever

how easily I could slip
into that fathomed realm

down
down
ever down
into the waiting silence
without so much
a noticed sound

absorbed
into the churn
into the roar
without so much
a ripple
to disturb
the steady surf

a subtle crease
irrelevant
invisible
erased
gone
