Along the coastline of Washington
State
I watched my dreams evaporate.
Atop a boulder, high above the sand,
The last limpid hope I held grand
Was dissolved into nothingness from
where
I stood underneath the sun's glare.
All purposefulness and meaning were
gone,
Only I remained, alone, one.
I reached for a dim promise from
the sea,
But, 'twas an empty-handed sea;
Hence, I left that oceanic commune
To seek newer ground, and fortune.
