Final Sweep

Silenced in the waves of your words
Stopping heart heave mid sentence
The crashing shoal of an unforgettable aim

Stricken into prints of vanishing years
That teetered looking up into the mounting surf
Frozen and numb in receding verbs left limp

On staggered limbs, the soul that rises
Coughing and choking on the brine of cliché
Heartfelt, the shoulders lent in quiet disarray

Knowing not the full extent of the dig
Yet death carves a void less definable than end
