Intangible

I rise at dawn with thoughts of you,
A graceful girl whom I once knew.
The crashing waves call out a plea
To trace the steps you left for me.

The surf replays melodic tunes
While it caresses sandy dunes.
The sand enfolds my naked feet,
Awash in waves that then repeat.

The seagulls circle as they fly;
Their mournful calls suffuse the sky.
They cite the days of joy we shared
And words of love we once declared.

But now all that remains of you
Are wispy whispers sighing blue.
Intangible, as you've become,
To airy whispers, I succumb.
