AS NIGHT LOOMS ABOVE THE DARK WATER
YOU STRETCH OUT FOR LIFE
ONLY TO SIGHT
THAT IT REMAINS A TALL ORDER
REACHING, GRASPING, GRABBING, CRASHING
ENDLESS EFFORTS THAT LEAVE YOU DEAD,
GASPING,
FOR THE BREATH AND THE AIR
THAT WAS ONCE PRESENT THERE
HAS NOW DISAPPEARED
LEAVING REMAINS OF DESPAIR
THE SOUGHT AFTER HOPE OF A LIFE NOT FOUND
MIRRORED ONLY THE FINDINGS OF A STRIFE UNBOUND,
DARKENING THE WATERS REFLECTING WHITE LIGHT
WITH ITS ROUNDNESS IN FORM
REPRESENTING THE PLIGHT
OH CONTINUOUS CYCLE, SHALL YOU NEVER END?
OR IN DEATH, MISERY, AND PAIN
SHALL WE ALL FIND FRIENDS?
-sid LITTLE
