into the unknown .

like a footprint in the sand the memory of you fades away . touched by the water of the ocean the grains of sand separate like moments of time . creating a new plateau of thinking , a new form of living . like a footprint in the sand you were something special while you were there . you were something magical and questionable . something enjoyable and reliable . something you knew would always be there after every step you took . but just like a footprint in the sand you were gone without warning . washed away by the wind and the waves .

her mildly warm body carried down along the shoreline of the beach . each fresh step feels like a new beginning as sand loops between her toes . such a drastic change from the cold tile floor she usually occupies . she drowns out the world around her with the sound of the waves crashing higher and higher against the rocks . her body gives into the magnetic force pulling her closer and closer to the water . she takes her first step into the exasperatingly cold liquid and enjoys every moment of it . her body tenses, her nerves react, her skin burns . her body goes into overdrive and she loves it . the power . the adrenalin .

the deeper she goes to more she knows she is willing to loose . as the water swarms around her knees she loosing all feeling in her feet . only the drawing waves to carry her deeper and deeper into the depths . the water touches her waste with a light graze, only to cut deeper with such force as to completely knock all other thoughts from her mind , she has never been happier in all her life . she can't think . she can't worry . she can't hurt . all she can do is feel . is drift . is linger .

the water rushes in around her face .. enclosing on her lips . numbing her senses . it slowly rises to her nose . as she takes her last breath and goes under its gone .

shes gone .

were gone .

open water . the cold swarms around her body . as the seaweed lightly slides across her feet and her mind wanders from coral reefs to angel fish .. far away from you and me . land and humanity .
far away from death .
from pain .
from suffering .
from dying from hurting from hate .

into the unknown .
