This is what it feels like
I'm sitting here on the beach, watching the ebbing tide as the storm building above shades the Earth of Heaven's light. I can see the tide receding further and further into the sea, revealing more beach than normal. I know full well this is the sign of a impending Tsunami. Looking around, no one seems to notice. At the horizon, the ocean seems to swell up, taking up the sky with its dark ominous body. The swelling continued at an alarming rate and still no one seems to notice. There's no where to run, no where to hide. So I sit back down on the damp sandy beach and feel the pebbles through my shorts. I close my eyes and enjoy the breeze one last time, savoring the taste of the refreshing air as I inhale deeply through my mouth. When I open my eyes I see a few of my friends and my family around me. They look at me with sad smiles as if to say farewell. I understand. Together we gaze at the horizon, waiting for the inevitable. There's no escaping it. No running from it. No hiding. Nothing that can prevent the ocean from swallowing me up. And that was exactly why no one else noticed: the ocean was coming for me, no one else.
So we sit here on the beach, watching the ebbing tide as the storm building above shades the Earth of Heaven's light, counting the moments as they pass before the tide comes to take me away.
