Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Pass Over

All alone on a beach be I,

The ocean waves come rolling in.

The sun is setting in the sky.

My final journey does begin.

Into the water I wade,

And feel a numbness as I face

My fears which seem to slowly fade

In this my chosen time and place.

As the water becomes more deep,

My gaze stays focused on the sun,

Glowingly calling me to sleep,

To bravely do what must be done.

The water takes away my breath,

And I pass from life into death.
