Passing

I followed you until moments end
With heavens torn asunder
Violence on waves of thunder
Drowning all the thoughts from within

I followed you to the ocean’s depth
The clouds hovering on high
Falling to where sea met sky
Breathing deep as murky air wept

I follow you knowing it is lost
Clashing lightning brightens night
Forked tongue flashing brilliant white
Submerging beneath rampant thought

I follow you hoping it will end
Unknown life lost to the deep
Slow waves lulling mind to sleep
Smothering weight as lungs cave in
