Who would endure through the night with me?

When does one depart after witnessing a sunset? The sky is painted with vibrant colors and the live action play comes to an end. The ocean presents itself like a warm hug in the morning but in the dead of night, fear is the domain of those who walk in. Strife within the ocean only for one’s life to be snuffed out. Who stays when the dark of night comes and takes the main scene? Who stays to endure the night?

Who greets you in the night? An oddly understanding of being weary of one another and kindness is an act when the sun is above. A fisherman is concerned with his bluefish, and a man who walks the coastline is concerned with his life. Who wanders in the night?

The stars danced above but the thoughts danced within you and a silence that weighed heavily. There was no moon and no light for the ocean to reflect, she was dark as the night sky. What of the weather and the time it chooses to be uncalmly?

Who calls you to walk in the water in the dead of night? God to prove your faith or call you a fool? The devil smiles as you wade in, and you… unsure as always. Don’t walk into the abyss of the ocean for there is nothing of loss and self doubt. In the dark of night, your body falls deeply. Drowning from all the choices, decisions, and failures.

You’ll hear from her, “Don’t let darkness and overthinking fog your heart and mind”.

The sunset hasn’t begun to set and you worried for the night that you had to endure. Fears that were conquered, and fears that grew like weeds.

She smiled and said “let’s stay and watch the stars tonight”.
