Yes. I'm actually going to commit suicide at the edge of a jetty by an abandoned lighthouse, where nobody will find me and when I will see my last sunset. All the way at the tip there is a support structure that looks like a tomb. I'm sneaking in every other night drilling holes into the concrete which will be used to support the stone letters I'm casting with flourecent (glow-in-the-dark) cast stone molds, inscribing my final words and my epitaph, embodying my gravestone structure, the very one upon which EMS will find me laying upon dead, marking my gravestone and the very Stone upon which I will die, both in one.
The ocean represents death. To the left represents the fathomless eternity before you were born, and to the right represents the fathomless eternity to which you will return. In between is just a short Walk of Life full of perils, dangers, tides and especially a short walk of time hence my last line: Time Or Tide Wait For No One
PARTING THE OCEAN'S DEATH ON BOTH SIDES
LAY THIS BRINK OF WALK BETWIXT SWAYS AND ROCKS
BIRTH TO SUNRISE, DEATH TO SUNSET
LIFE AND DEATH LIE LEFT AND RIGHT
FOR THE BRIEF BREEZE IN BETWEEN BUT
TIME NOR TIME WAIT FOR NO ONE

HERE DIED

Lived for the Sea, Died by the Sea

To give you a bit of background so you can understand the symbolic and artistic significance:
The lighthouse is coined "Breezy "Edge Tip. Hence "For the Brief Breeze in Between"
A lot of people die each year walking across that jetty because it's so long that by the time they get across the tip, high tide sets in, the seawater soon quickly overtakes the rocks, and people are left without footing and drown or have to be rescued, if able.
So my final words will not only be inscribed in Stone Lettering drilled into and bonded to the concrete, but will glow in the dark with the sealant finish to add mysterious "Aurora of Haunting"
As my final words etched in stone, below my epitaph Marking Both my Place and Grave of Death
And as a Warning to seafarers, fishermen, and people who can die taking the walk. In the symbolic nature of the jetty parting the ocean of death on both sides, it being a Walk of Life full of Rocky dangerous stepping Stones which you can fall in between since they're spaced out and almost impassable without leaps of faith, lest fall in between one of the cracks and die wedged between two rocks 10 ft below in a crevice seawater swamp.
And a haunting glow everlasting at night, a warning to people walking the Jetty in Wanderlust to beware of the Tide and Time, for it may be their last walk alive before the sea swells in.
Yes actual fiberglass reinforced cast stone letters that I'm casting in my shop with weatherproof marine-grade mortar as hard as steel at core. With an overlay finish of actual glow-in-the dark pigments that are rated to last 50+ years with a UV proof sealant. The stone letters will be individually anchored to the tomb-like marine channel marker structure. It's unlikely they'll be removed since they'll be bonded so strongly it'll cost thousands to remove.
Also will serve as a good public warning (and haunting "glowing in dark" legend) to steer clear from taking the dangerous walk across without checking, you guessed it - the time and time charts.
