Like grains of sand...
my thoughts of you
wash.....across my mind,
fading....in - and - out..
with the endless tide.
Every now and then...
a poignant memory bobs
to the surface..............like a piece
of driftwood......
On its' journey, not knowing where
it is going..............and not caring,
just floating....with the tide.
There was a time, when
we were lovers
and the thought never
entered our minds......that
we could part.
We walked around these beaches
..........laughing, playing
you splashed water into my eyes...
and then ran.....laughing
We had such fun then.
The clouds remind me..........of you.
How you loved the clouds,
we would lay together for hours
our imaginations
filling the time... with magical dragons,
eagles.........and elephants dancing.
Love seemed so simple then,
it was so easy........for me to love you,
we were so open.......and
so in love.
And then the storms came.......
and our love.......was torn, shattered
each blow spinning us around....until
we reeled with the violence
and collapsed....like a weather balloon
spiraling towards the earth.
Our love was caught.......in the undertow,
pulled us down........the sweetness gone
a gaping hole where my heart was.
Now....I wander alone...breathing the cool most air,
watching seagulls dipping....soaring...
...wiggling my toes in the warm
sand, wishing...
wondering what life could have
been like...
if there had been no storm.
