One Last Glimpse

They all march in unison
the young girl too
A cacophony of chants
buries her fervor
They scream of fidelity
yet she falls down
The march more profound
she reaches for the stars
An individual dies in acumen
the masses entrench in insanity

A small teardrop hits the massive ocean
the nominal ripple but for a mere second
The birds, whales and sharks plead for
Sunnier days with no harsh waves
yet the teardrop disappears too soon
and Life as we know it - ceases to exist
But for a small teardrop in a massive ocean
soon becomes part of the mass of water
and life feels betrayed, once again.

He saw her, sitting on top of the rocks
a white silhouette amongst the sandy beach
her hair flew to the shore hugging the water
her smile radiated the sun before its implosion
The girl was so beautiful when she smiled
and with the last breath I pulled myself above the waves
to catch one last glimpse of her
to catch one final glimpse of her beauty
Before I drowned.
