Tides of Echo Park

I sat between two trees..
A rock between my knees, the dirt soft and wet.
I held it in my hand and for a second I felt you there...
The smile on my lips
The simple joy between
and briefly how we came to be..
Then life called to me and so I let it be
the rock dropped from my hands
another time and another day
another creeping memory.
Stones at my feet...waiting just for me.
