Body like  a stone,
eyes like the brim of the ocean.
Hope swells upon the shore of the beach that is my life,
water warm, sand in my toes, waiting for it, the desperate yearning for a new, clean, slate.
As it comes up the shore, I gasp and hold my breath,
for it has beauty that has engulfed me.
As soon as the wave came, it went, along with the one minuet of peace i was so desperate for.
I realize this, as much as hope comes to shore,
its always bound to leave again.
Everything leaves..
