I take another step further into the sea
The sand from the shore, slips beneath my feet
There is chaos in every step that I take
And the sea rattles wildly ready to claim me
The waves are seething now, as they crash and soar repeatedly
And the sky breaks down, it’s downpour consuming me
The raging sky and the roaring sea
Oh, a storm is coming alright
And it’s all for me
The sky and the sea
Rumble in perfect harmony
The maniacal waves and the barbarous lightnings
Oh so ferocious, there was never anything quite like it
The thunder blasts into my ears and my body shakes violently
And the sky continues to send its wrath down upon me
The final stroke. The final lightning.
I see the sky split apart
As the blinding white strikes me with all its fury
One evanescence moment, of its scandalous scandalous touch
And every cell in my body sparks up; burning with electricity.
The waters are now agitated
They’ve long been waiting
My body convulses, I am soaring, ecstasy at its peak
Then just like that the blinding white leaves me
And oh the coarse pain, so all consuming
And it thunders so loud, I can’t even hear myself scream
Limp from the exertion, I crash loudly against the sea
The water devours me, it has been hungry
A lone tear graces the side of my face
As I obliterate in seconds
Whatever then remains of me, floats adrift
فنا; Annihilation.
For just like that, I ceased to exist.
