The Apostate

What does it mean to forsake all? (Form: Tritina)

The Apostate

Silence surrounds me while the heavens sigh.
I cry to the dark clouds asking for peace
in my soul, in my heart, with no answer.

The waves caress the shore, offering an answer
as the wind whispers in a voice like sigh.
Within my embrace you will find peace.

I hear the siren song of proffered peace.
Within the liquid promises, I hear an answer.
The beauty overwhelms me; I yield with a sigh.

In the blue quiet, a final silvery sigh and I find peace, I find an answer.
