~
On the waves of a dream,
I lay waiting on shore,
a cold beach this night
beneath a burdened moon
crying stardust
I sink slowly
into the wet sand…
pleading with the waters
for answers to shamed questions,
while counting the shades of violet
framing a weeping sky
Thoughts flow like the tides
on an endless journey,
weaving contours and
bends deep within
this sorrow that washes
over me
I watch as these waves slip away,
carrying hopes still lingering
and exposing the loss I feel
fiercely crashing
before my eyes,
in opaque foam
I can barely move,
my body is still,
my breath salted and tethered,
as I reach
for shadows of my memories,
only to find them…
whispering goodbye
*on the breeze
