A poem for the lost

Take me to the chasms

of beasts and the unwanted

let me walk among the lost

in the great confusion

the unknown.

Waiting for the wave

to fade us away

hand in hand we wait

as the wave grows hungry

swallowing the sky

the sun will be consumed

and the water will claim its throne

the children play

while skeletons lay

as we all wait for the day

where the lost will become found

and the beasts will shed their skin

stop. Rinse. Repeat.
