Isle of Solace

Haggard body, frail existence Breaking through the waves, grasping for a cold surface Swimming in uncertainty towards undefined nothing When a dream is dying, the water is an endless foe Agony ridden desolate struggle Underneath the dark lies an unending depth One foot hit the bottom, a cold touch of the ocean floor A brief glimpse of hope, a sight of a coming relief Loosing contact, slipping away from the newfound reverie Slither ashore on newfound soil Salt meets sand, cleansing the hands of the wounded Illusionary shelter Stranded on illusive ground, an island in a dream of solace Trembling ascends from inside of the island Given new life, the land awoke from it's ancient rest Arms shot like towers through the foam and the waves Surrounding and closing in, pulled under and torn deep down A stream of emptiness from underneath sweeps it all away Rising in the distance, apparition An island lures a dreamer on the verge between life and ocean Sinking away, with a final breath of water
