Fear Poem by YURI DURAAN

My feet are buried
in sand...
the tide is coming in
and I cannot save
myself...
fear overcomes me,
it being the
sacrifice
I give to the waves that
threaten to conquer me.
My hair is blowing
wildly
in the wind
and my eyes are white-hot
coals looking into the storm
but burning within,
speaking
to me...
screaming down into me..
only,
there is no-one to hear…
no witness
to tell those who will come
to silently collect me,
there will be
no soul catcher for me,
no-one to close my eyes...
only the salt of the sea
and your name
on my lips
