My soul lives on

Wandering aimlessly through the winter days,
surrounded by waves of perpetual storms;
the roars of thunder deafening to the ears

~ Lightning strikes ~

A sudden shift to the end of a jetty
where the ocean coldly crashes all around
shares one final look back at a wasted life.

~ I jump ~

Falling into an endless pit of darkness,
submitting to the water's swallowing tract;
not a single regret of the choices made
as I release my final, warm breath of air.

~ I am finally at peace ~
