moving to the beat of the unseen

lyrics

i could smell it for miles before we could see the waves lapping at the shore.
it permeated the air, over the stench of smoke and death.
it was a renewed hope.
a destination yet to reach.
and yet, in some way... an ending.

i close my eyes and let the salty air fill my lungs,
my mind filling with visions of slate and white-caps licking and falling into shallow pools on the rocks beyond.
my voice, lost to the heavens as i turned from the darkened sky and break from a walk into a run towards the seductive smell.
i can hear the beat of their footsteps behind me.
two, four, six feet hitting the ground in a perfect natural rhythm.

it is as if time has ceased to exist.
clamboring hand over foot over loose stone to reach the top of the cliffs.
grasping at loose pieces of rock, the sound of rushing water a salve on weary ears and limbs.

"just a few more steps, just a little bit further," she says, pushing ever upwards.

even as we climb, a fine mist falls on us.
a silent rain, and we welcome it with faces raised, hands lifted to the darkening sky.

and when we crest the cliff, we find ourselves staring down through iron walls at our own images.
laying motionless on cold pavement, staring at the night as the rain fell.

cyclical.
we had left in search of life and found it in ourselves.
(but) this was not an ending
this is a new beginning.
