Beyond Tranquil Waves
Was thinking about a few things when I wrote this, listening to some ambient ocean music. This has a lot of meaning to me, writing it made me pretty emotional. Enjoy.
Gazing down to the depths below, questions still unanswered.
Strange creatures flowing freely, tides carrying them to every corner.
Light glistening from the surface, the thinnest barrier.
A world above and a world below.
Glorious winds bearing the sounds of a new time.
The jump shall be the catalyst.
Memories of warmer sands and calmer waves.
An elusive era, unknown by the one who seeks it.
Rain caresses the heart, washing away the pain.
A soothing voice in the ear, easing the tears away.
Then away delight, away.
Isolated where the moon never sings.
To be robbed of the nocturnal tune, to have his voice stripped away.
Whisked to a stranger place, the faces so different.
Holding the crystal she gave him, their last physical connection.
A metamorphosis of the soul.
Looking to the sea for a sign, awaiting the day.
A monumental return.
The abyssal arisen.
Two hearts held together, each from a different place.
Two voices spoken in unison, carrying high and low.
A love founded in the deep blue.
Eternal and untouched.
Eyes gazing towards the setting sun, watching the lapping waves.
Waiting for the time when he can return.
To his love and land, to tides and reefs.
To where the rivers kissed the sea.
And so he strides into the depths.
The gentle waters welcoming him back, biding him further along.
He shall wait no longer, never again a prisoner in concrete castles.
The coldness envelopes him, warming his soul.
He closes his eyes as the air leaves his lungs.
Floating in the beautiful void, feeling her arms around him once again.
He opens his eyes, seeing her face.
Hand in hand, two fates intertwine once more.
In death he is reborn for her, remade for her new world.
He now dwells where the sun cannot reach, where others cannot interfere.
In this place he shall remain, as eons come and go.
He has her this time, never letting go.
Venturing forth together, into the vast unknown.
