Burial at Sea (Day 8)

Down we go
beneath the still waters
and below the current's flow
a slow parting wave
to where only demons will show,
to lie with the krakens
and the bones  
of all that they know,
down to where no light can glow
no happiness nor laughter
where only the bitter and twisted  
can grow,
for all family and friends, are left behind
there is nothing of comfort here
only weeds and tides of woe.
