A glimmer of hope, stardust on sand
A distant shore shines where shadows lock hands
Mist washes sorrow, night stretches on
A promised tomorrow as dusk meets the dawn
The sun rises bright on seafoam-salt seas
Refracting the light as tides turn to peace
Free from the surf, the sea returns home
Easing the earth from burdening loam
Once timid hearts harden, as waters retract
A whisper of something, a tenous pact
In the tide's weary wake, shimmering motes
A shoreline of stars unburdened by hope
Dawn turns to dusk turns to dawn once again
Soft light's refrain answers "if" with a "when"
Sure as the shore shall surrender to sand
The morning must follow the dim night's remand

A glimmer of hope, stardust on sand
A distant shore shines where shadows lock hands
Mist washes sorrow, night stretches on
A promised tomorrow as dusk meets the dawn
The sun rises bright on seafoam-salt seas
Refracting the light as tides turn to peace
Free from the surf, the sea returns home
Easing the earth from burdening loam
Once timid hearts harden, as waters retract
A whisper of something, a tenous pact
In the tide's weary wake, shimmering motes
A shoreline of stars unburdened by hope
Dawn turns to dusk turns to dawn once again
Soft light's refrain answers "if" with a "when"
Sure as the shore shall surrender to sand
The morning must follow the dim night's remand
head still reeling? Why am I so bad at social cues? Why did this come as a surprise to me?
may this hope not be misplaced
This'll be the last one for a while, I think.
