Tummy Ache (Feel It In Thy Heart and Soul)

Looking into the ocean, as wave after wave, crashes against the shore, and retreats, almost to fetch another and return. The soft foams of the dying waves slowly disappear. He sat and watched every second, probing into every element, like the days that have passed. He saw the waves come and go as the days of his life till that moment had, and the little shimmer of hope that each day brought, disappear like the foam. Striving to push on, and live further, and to ultimately survive he gulped hard and blinked away the tears that began to settle on his eyes. Thrusting hard onto his stomach to ease the pain and subdue his hunger. It was almost an attempt to silent the groan that stemmed from the emptiness of his tummy...
