bleak waves at night

Brayden Titus

The sea watches and waits for the soothing night to fade into shadow, waits to suck daylight into the great blue depths as silence comes from the whispers of the ocean, tides collide and crash swallowing the sound and the creatures. Water surrounds the terra firma like thoughts.

Waves wait to drown things afloat and come alive at the sound of fire. How many miles may they last? The water contains monsters within … melancholic tones unlike the frothy aura that they once had. By the shore, waves swallow, gulp, and choke— how protective the water once looked. Now the waves leave dusk and dark behind at twilight. They have to meet with peace at sunrise.
