My silent companion.

The gentle pulse of a wave hits my feet as I stare out to sea.

The gray horizon is empty of ships or life.

As I sit there I wonder why my dreams keep taking me here.

I feel lonely, yet I accept it.

There is a certain peace here that my loneliness in reality lacks.

I don't think of you, just that I have no one.

 

I want to move.

To walk along the shore, or go into the warm water,

But I remain where I stand,

Allowing the waves to gently beat their heartbeat rhythm at my feet.

But it's then that I realize I'm not alone.

The ocean is my wordless companion, like a hand on my shoulder,

Telling me that I am strong enough, good enough,

I am enough.
