Oceans go on forever, light fades into darkness.

Lost at sea, no feeling now...only still and 

silent skies.

Blue becomes gray, clarity becomes mists,

that form uneasy and meaningless patterns.

Waves no longer sway my vessel.

I can barely hear them now.

Is that a ship ahead? It is a faint shadow,

that I cannot make out.

And I don’t care. Phantoms have crossed 

my path many, many times. 

The journey has become too unpredictable,

too arduous.

Time has run out, too late for my rescue.

Let others sail these waters, for I am drifting

into night.
