Dark embrace.

Oh tempestuous sea.
What secrets you harbour there.
Your inky endless depths ,
Brutal , without care.

As I gaze towards your dark embrace,
I  envisage all you have seen.
Relentless, unyielding, unchanging through time,
Oh majestic, powerful queen.

You have stolen lives aplenty,
Relentless in your quest.
Ever seeking, ever hungry.
For you there is no rest.

I close my eyes, my final thoughts,
The pain of loss - the cost.
So take me now, this willing soul,
I'm yours , for all is lost.
