Circle

Wave after wave
Crashes into the rocks
Separated, severed;
But its water all the same.

Eons have passed
Since the ties broke.
Seasons addled by,
While the friends drifted.

Once in the sand
And then in the air
'Cross countries,
Many winds bore them afar.

When the time came nigh,
The sky turned black,
And the heavens lit up white.
Thunderstruck, the descent ensued.

Perilous, terrible and joyous
Nature's singularity
Forging together A miracle,
The last link in the chain.

A din like no other,
As they roar in delight.
As proud Poseidon's army
Revels and rejoices.

Afar on the shore,
The nemesis awaits.
In constant vigil,
In constant peril.

A moonlit night
Under a starlit sky.
Farewells are in order,
As the waves come crashing again.

Awesomely written.

It's so melancholic and all...about severed ties and more severed ties and what not?
