In the Hallows by the Sea
In the hallows by the sea
ran a lonely boy
stumbling and distantly
looking for the shore.
Snarl and bite, fearful flight
through the fog and rain.
No more is there sacred peace
upon the broken plain.
Dashing, slicing through the muck
not a chance to rest
puffing out fatigue and fear
from his pounding chest.
Suddenly, fatefully
the chase is now at end.
He runs into a clearer view
and body meets the sand.
Conscienceness awakes the boy
not just taste is bland.
Shivering, soaking wet
atop the naked sand.
Raining ceased, fog decreased
out, he looked, to see
an ocean, lifeless as a corpse,
level with his knees.
Down onto the sand he laid
his head of good intent.
He mumbled praise to start his days
of which his faith was meant.
Up he got, death be not,
limping down the shore
in a lighted wooded realm
none have seen before.
