High upon the cliff, bottle of rum, in hand

He stood, staring down, into the open sea

Was this the day when he’d finally let go?

Or would he, once again, panic and flee?

He took one last chug, dropping the glass

Watching, as it crashed against the rocks

Shattering, into a million pieces, shards

Stepping back, of his life, he took stock

Still, he was taunted by the raging waters

Crashing against the cliffs, ferociously

No more booze, to calm his quaking nerves

At last, he jumped, plummeting, into the sea

 

Feeling icy waters caress him, as deeper, he let himself fall

Neath the ocean, is now the place he calls home

Tis what he really wanted, after all…

 

December Writing Prompt – He drank the last drop, then plummeted into the sea – Day 20/31

A deceptive view, my eyes do see, above the water, stands a tree; and yet, it also lives beneath, with reflections of a barren heath. As does the mountain, and the sun; casting shadows, all is one.

I allow myself to linger there, watching as they meet; land and water, trees and air, lying at my feet. Basking in this wonder, I breathe in all the glory; both above and under, this is nature’s telling story.

Sitting on the banks, I close my eyes and meditate; for this beauty I must thank, as my soul, it does elate.

Drown in Beauty ~ #poetry #freeverse

To dwell in the silence, down under

The calm waters, below the waves

Surrounded by coral reefs, colors

Of the sea, and the inhabitant fish

Basking in the flow of the rippling tides

Where they can quietly swim about

Oh, yes, freedom, freedom from

The reckless and uncaring, the

Human factor, dehumanized beings

When, alas, I realize, as I sum it all up

I would rather drown in beauty

Than live in the ugliness of mankind
