LADY ON THE ROCKS
Vashon Island
waves were small but mighty
against the wind
of late evening the Stars quivered
and Uli sat down by the rocks
crying
her eyes out
and disappointed in love.
I always followed her
like a puppy
that just bit a bit too hard.
She would hide in the dark
but I would
always find her and sit with her.
She was
as magnificent a s a mermaid
with the sea at her feet
my focus
and resolve was so disjointed
she hoped
I would come around.
Kids were always on our mind
she had a Son
and I a Son and a Daughter
and we always missed them.
There were times
I thought
she would cash her chips in, and
finally give up on loving me, but
something always
kept her going and believing in me.
So much fitter
than I she would lead the way
on the trail
or just plain air walking.
Suffering with her own ills
she managed
to always make me first, and
this is why
I am writing about her now.
She
will always be the lady on the rocks
waiting for her heart to catch up
and dispel
the rage I always put her in.
She is a series of snapshots
that will live inside my head forever.
From the bedroom
to the struggles
of our existence together
she is the love of my life.
I bloom everyday with her
and she digs
into my earth for her survival.
Tin Souls we are.
Twin Souls
with the Lady on the Rocks.
