Sea Of Darkness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Tossed on the sea of darkness, filled with the dread of life,
finding no one to talk to, sealing a promise of death.

Sending out signals to all who are drowning, holding on to
each other - we're all going under.

Tossed on the sea of darkness, eyes filled with sand, turning
over and over to an unheard of band, standing on walls of
silence, eating words of wisdom.

Thinking I heard someone dying, but it was only laughter
filled with despair.

Tossed on the sea of darkness, lost forevermore - no one seems
to care if I have gone before them.

No one hears any laughing, there's no one to hear a prayer, as
I lay dying in front a crowded chapel - no one dared to care.

Tossed on a sea of darkness, mirrors of images cast, no one
here to see the last of mankind crying, it was drowned out by
tears.

All the sorrow of earth was felt here inside my heart, I could
feel your pain, but do nothing to stop it - not even to save
myself.

Tossed on the sea of darkness, fallen under the gentle waves,
life has been tossed into darkness below a watery grave.
