Anguish

While walking along the beach, I listen to the waves crash. But all I hear is your voice and how you had called me trash. I detect abject anguish within a seagull's shrill cry. For it sounds in agony, shrieking, go away and die. The ocean calls me to Her like a siren with no face. And whispering soothing sounds, She lures me to Her embrace. I feel Her currents pull me to the depths of the unknown. And washing away my tears, She mingles mine with Her own. Slipping under Her waters, I exhale my final breath. And extinguishing life's spark sink into the arms of death. (Quatrain) 6/2/2015
