now back from crashing waves
i was supposed to be a lost hero
never in my darkness did i lose hope
my smile real
yet my sadness too

back
the sea too far ahead
i am entrenched in cement walls
i am in one of many
so the echos
are really never only me

now when i am near the sea
it is cold
raging
mysterious
i cannot enter
its eternity
it's veiled truth
its brutal humanity
i fall back
my head
breathing
nothing

while the sea
only breathes
itself
my beginning
where i can
find my
soul

Very good!

Very nice write jimz. I could feel some peace flowing from the words.
