Description
I dreamt of gliding, sliding--- down, then going up--Tossing and turningand splashing into the ocean below
While I stood on the deck watching the ripples--watching the
foam; created by the ship as it cuts her way against the
wind--the tide; and
the waves....
I dreamt of emptiness, just the humming of the engine,
and the splashing of the waves
against the vessel...
I stood there alone--feeling the salty, damp and musty wind
as it smashed against my face...
I am alone; defenseless-------
so small..
I watched the smoke; I exhaled from my only companion---
a flickering cigarette...
I watched it burn slowly--consuming itself with it's own
fire..until nothing is left
but filter...
and glowing ember...
I threw it away... and watched the faint glow...
fall.............down...down....down
until,
the faint reddish glow disappears----engulfed,
consumed by the waves below....
'til nothing is left;
not even traces of smoke; or ashes....
I stood there
alone----
a dot against the vast
emptiness of oblivion and solitude.
A faint glow...
consumed by the waves
below.
