I stand
Feet sinking into cool sand
Sticky salt air caressing my skin
Billowing hair in a flurry of wind
I stare
Out into onyx dark night
The scene only illuminated by full pale moonlight
The oracles eye, wide open
Inky waters churning
A soft whisper
A call
A beckoning
I strip myself bare
Let my skin breathe
Let my soul feel
The call of the void
Is now a ringing in my ears
A shaking, quaking in my soul
I wade out into the pitch black sea
First to my ankles, my knees, my hips
Until the Stygian void raises up to my neck
No fear for what monsters may lurk beneath in the dark rough waters
For the most terrifying monsters already dwell within

I love that last line. Sometimes the real darkness isn’t outside us at all. You expressed that inner battle brilliantly.
