Tides of the Forgotten

Between Solitude and Shadow, Where Silence Meets the Deepest Shore

Drifting alone, I trace the trembling tide.

Ash-laden clouds mirror the hollow in my chest.

Ripples whisper secrets I cannot speak aloud.

Knotted memories sink beneath the silver swell.

Waves cradle my freighted bones with quiet insistence.

Alone, I listen to the pulse of the unseen.

Veil of mist swallows the edge of the world.

Every breath, every heartbeat, moves never more.

******

If you read the first letters down, you’ll find DARK WAVE—the tide that carries all we leave behind.
