The sun slides into the horizon
Waves crash the shore
I slip down
Through grainy sand
Let me drown in the sand
It is here that I feel nothingness
Do not throw me a rope or even a prayer
I want to fall into this abyss:
The silence is peace.

Sad and beautifully haunting.
That’s really sad… Hope you’re doing okay.
It’s astounding how you create such a deeply elegiac tone.
Thank you!
