Life and Death

so, was at the beach this weekend, and saw a girl standing in the water, got me thinking, sort of looked like she was trying to commit suicide but I wasn't sure...this is what spanned from it

The water at her feet, stinging the now healed scratches,

all around her, the salt clinging to the bloodless dress that drags in the waves.

The children splash and play all around her,

but her eyes see nothing but the horizon calling her name.

The colors in the sky beckon her to come

fly away with them into the ever darkening sky.

She begins to glide gracefully out among crashing waves,

further and further until the water envelopes her every ounce.

Moments tick by, the sound of her heart growing

louder,

seeping into her nostrils,

death crawls.

A starry night with nothing but the light

from the planes to illuminate the ominous ocean,

a beam of light touches down.

To see her walking a top the glassy surface,

a miraculous miracle in the dark death that occurred.
