And drifts away...


He stares at what was once beautiful and safe, now just a vast empty space. A sorrow filled tear runs down the side of his face, a place he once felt warmth seems cold and empty.


He slowly moves down the shore till the darkened waters bite at his feet. Ripples on the surface shape the depths below. He moves forward; shivers move through his body and his skin becomes rough with goose bumps. The shadowy waters envelop his body like wet cement, heavy and cold yet deeper he moves.

He turns to face the shore and he see’s them waving goodbye. Although his heart feels heavy he understands. Lying back he feels the water take away his weight and although his heart sinks his body floats and drifts away.
