Immortal

As I sat there on the bluff overlooking the water, I let the silence consume my thoughts.
Motionless ,thoughtless other than the one pressing my mind "What would life be like alone for eternity?"
Blankly I continued to stare out into the rolling blackness that was the sea.
Most suddenly from behind the only cloud lingering in the sky came the moon as full and bright as the day it was placed there. As it's reflection grew larger on the surface of the water I became entranced and climbed down the rocky bluff.
Standing on the shore I thought to myself
"Why would such a beautiful creation shine it's rays down on this pitiful world so lonely and hopeless?","Perhaps the moon grows bored or even lonely as well hanging in the heavens all night."
At this moment I stopped looking at the reflection and looked to it's pale counterpart above me.
I lifted my hand in salutations and called out to the heavenly body,"I fear I have grown as lonely as you my dear pale friend." The moon remained as motionless as I expected.
Right then I could feel my sanity slipping through my fingers like the sand below me and the hysteria built up a little more.
I slipped off my shoes and waded waist deep into the cold water. the chilled air made me catch my breath as the wind blew it's winter air inland.
My legs and toes became quickly numb as my mind had long been before this moment.
I stared up a the moon again and wondered if in all it's wholeness was it just as empty as I.
Devoid of all sense that once accompanied my thoughts I spoke aloud once more to the sky.
"Perhaps dear moon, If I lay myself down in this icy water and let the water fill my lungs, I like any other human, would perish and my body slowly decay with the tide so that I may look upon you for all eternity and never again have to wake to the glare of dawn upon me."
I stood there for a few more moments clutching myself tightly before questioning the sky once again.
"Moon! If I do lay myself down at this moment would you let me stay suspended in the sky with you forever?"
The moon still had no response for me,and hung there oblivious to my inquiry.
"Why had the moon not smiled back upon me?"
I shifted my gaze downward toward the waves that had begun to hit gently rock me.
Shivers ran through me as I thought of an eternity with no lasting love,friendship or happiness.
"Would I even drown like any other human or would I simply lay on the bottom , chest full and almost bursting still able to think aloud and feel my immortal heart beat."
Instead of sinking into the water as originally intended at the start of journey I began to walk back to the shore.
I slipped on my shoes once again and before climbing back up I looked back at the moons reflection for the last time and said
"Dear moon it seems as though if I did join you this night I may still be as lonely as I am among these mortals."
The pale orb still hung in the sky unchanging as ever,and I bade it goodnight.
