Into The Sea

-Into The Sea-
by Keaton Foster



Wading
Waiting
The depths
Glorious
The shallows
Unbearable
Into the sea
Reoccurring
This dream
An escape
From fate
Closer to shore
There are creatures
Feasting galore
Killing their kind
Building their shrines
False are such God’s
Who rule
They are certain
Nothing can escape
Even a man such a me
Beyond them
Deeper still
Into the swirling blue
Facing certain truth
Into the sea
Alone
By myself
I’m wondering
One more step
And I’ll be free
Falling down
Blackness abound
Into the cold abyss
From which
A return
Is no option
Into the ether
Of nothing sparred
I’ll never be found
Because no one will look
No one will dare
They wish nothing
Of what’s down there
Its only me
Who dreams
Of such a void
Into the sea
Inch by inch
Wading
Unafraid
Because fear itself
Holds no place
In my life
And in my death
Unconcerned
There is no next
There is just an abyss
A kingdom of emptiness
In which I
Will reign supreme
Because down there
In the deepest of depths
Where I’ll be placed
Where I’ll be kept
No one else will be
I’ll be alone
All by myself
Will it be heaven
Will it be hell
Neither matters to me
I’ll be free from those
Closer to shore
The ones wishing me harm
The ones wishing me no escape
Into the sea
Headlong I’ll flee
Beyond these shallows
Is a depth
That I alone must go…
