Black Waters

Gentle waves lap before my feet
The ebony liquid is insidious and deep
It reaches out, yearning to drag me to eternal sleep
It bespeaks of peace
The final moment
When all is forgiven and understood
When life means no more than a sign of release
Its offer is attracting
When all you love is gone
As the world is of vicious lies
You desire no more than to sink into unending rest
Into the cool utter darkness of death's embracing keep
The black waters of your dreams.
