"A SONG AT SEA"

A deep blue
a rushing tide
a golden sun
in the sky
the sway of the waves
in a gentle dance
the water soothes
my callused hands
the seagulls call
the flock to flight
in a beautiful formation
their wings spread wide
I see the sand
in a distant view
my great escape
awaits
there is something
about the sea
that speaks to me
brings me peace
it is only me
and no one else

I've made this journey
all alone
I will not
deny the truth
there is still a part of me
that loves her
that wants her
here and now
I would find her
but don't know how
she left long ago
without a trace
I think of my angel
tears run down my face
oh the pain
it's unbearable
the nightmare
truly terrible
maybe, possibly
one day, she will
or I will have to
learn to let it go
though it burns, it hurts
and not let it show
I look out to the sea
how it brings me peace
here I am free
here I can breathe
I'd have everything I need
if she were here with me
