An Endless Sea

[~Siren*Harp~]

An Endless Sea
By S. Hof

All around me was abyss,
Absence of life, a desolate place.
Each night I was lulled to sleep
By the ever constant moan
Of the waiting sea.

For days on end I searched,
Ever hopeful, no matter how slight
That a small bit of life might appear
To save me from an endless torture
Of the waiting sea.

But each day was met the same
And nothing revealed itself.
By and by I accepted my fate
To be forfeit to this repetative life
Of the waiting sea.

And then one evening,
As I lay staring at the black sky,
A single light appeared,
In the midst of total nothingness
Of the waiting sea.

And with each passing night thereafter,
Another light would join the first
Until finally the day never seemed to end.
And nighttime danced as day and night joined
On the waiting sea.

I danced along too, forgetting my woes
I danced until I collapsed and then,
In my dreams I danced some more.
For the first time, I felt fire in my soul,
On the waitng sea.

When I was too tired to dance any longer,
It was then that I looked to the horizon,
And there I saw the waitng shore
A single figure standing atop,
Waiting for me.


I'm really not sure what this poem is entirely about. I thought of it on the spur of the moment, but I'm rather pleased with it. So, please, tell me what you think.
