Surrendering to Nothing

By KissTheSkyPH

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If you’ll set me softly by the sea I’ll want to drown myself-- But not for contempt of my flesh. The visions I see in the sand swallow me whole And I want to go to the place Where my land meets that ever-merging Rendezvous of elements; Take a step toward the waves And be digested Into the everything that looms Beautiful before me. There is no ecstasy like that of Eternity.first draft again. Written November 12th, 2001 © on Nov 13 2001 05:31 PM PST   18 • 0 • 13
