The poem was written in response to this picture.
I will walk into the tide
Break and fall upon the waves
One by one I have undone
my hold upon the world
The world is a blue void
The sky above the sea below
The sand sinks softly under my feet
Soothing calluses earned
From thorny pathways tred
The sea would fall
Caressing, lavaging the pits
And undo it all
The world is a blue void
Hearts with love devoid
Man, a trampling humanoid
With every fall
No hope at all
The race is lost
Before the start
The relentless waves
break hard against the shore
With a vigorous uproar
The sound and the fury
Of infinity
The salt from my tears
Blend with the spray
I blend a finite life
Of petty woes
Pitiful throes
I find my peace
I find my cure
In this azure eternity
I will walk into the tide
Break and fall upon the waves
One by one I have undone
my hold upon the world
The world is a blue void
The sky above the sea below
The sand sinks softly under my feet
Soothing calluses earned
From thorny pathways tred
The sea would fall
Caressing, lavaging the pits
And undo it all
The world is a blue void
Hearts with love devoid
Man, a trampling humanoid
With every fall
No hope at all
The race is lost
Before the start
The relentless waves
break hard against the shore
With a vigorous uproar
The sound and the fury
Of infinity
The salt from my tears
Blend with the spray
I blend a finite life
Of petty woes
Pitiful throes
I find my peace
I find my cure
In this azure eternity
