At Land's End

I sat in the moonlit darkness
The violent darkness swiftly crept towards me
It broke into edges of white,
Retreating back to where it came from
Spraying a soft mist on me

My hand struck against a hard,white piece of earth
That very much resembled the crescent moon hiding and seeking in the night sky
It had such an intricate design
I kept it near to my ear and what did I find?

The same sounds as that were around me
The same black ocean
A thing so small,
Has the power to mimic the endless sea?


Wave after wave crashed onto the beach
Each with a countless amount of energy
And a power that never dries out,
But merely grows stronger and stronger

A huge wave engulfed me,
This time almost pulled me in with it
Frozen and drenched to the skin, I stood up
Standing at land's end, staring into the infinte element of water
I felt a pang of insignificance
Like how a drop of water is insignificant to the sea,
And yet how the same drop is the sea...
