In The Darkness Of The Night

In the darkness of the Night

The storm always seem worse

My thoughts like the seas are tumultuous

They dash against the inner recesses of my mind

like waves against rocks

Never ending thoughts

Unease creeps into the cracks of normalcy

And rushes back out again as quickly as they developed

To be replaced by wave after wave of self-doubt

Their meaning and course never the same

I fight to stay afloat my mind reasoning each

Like as a vessel cast out onto the deep dank recesses

Of the bottomless sea's

Closing around me choking the very air from water-logged lungs

Almost to be swallowed up by invisible Monsters

Then Morning comes again and like a lifeboat

I watched as the waves receded the fog clears

A lifetime cast out onto perilous waters

The clear skies the waves again calm

And once again I am able to breathe

The seaweeds which moments before

Wrapped its stringy claws around my neck

retracted and I breathe a sigh as the light from the Dawn

cast shadows around the room and I find I am no longer adrift

The title of this prose came from a Friend who dreamt of sinister occurrence and always at Night and it always involved the Ocean. Although he gave me the title I wrote the prose. I did give credit for co-Authoring as the title was his, however, he was not interested in continuing with the writing.
