Ocean waves crashing

Cascading and rearranging

Patterns in the sand

As I watch mesmerized

At the beauty of its precision

How its flow has no end

How such a powerful force

Can gently ease my soul

The sound so peaceful

Pounding harshly

As it rolls

I’m hypnotized

Revitalized by the beauty unfolding

Before my eyes

The salty mist caresses my skin

Natures gentle kiss

As the icy trickle

Tickles my toes

Once again

Refreshed renewed restored

Grateful that this one thing

Has managed to remain the same

Majestic, powerful and strong

With a constant reassurance

A welcome home

Calling my name

As it has

So many times before

Sleep so gladly welcomed

My eyes tightly close

In preparation of visions

That only appear in the dark of night

Quietly in my dreams

You silently

So sweetly arrive

No words are necessary

To explain

Why you are here

Or why you came

Your silhouette

Your eyes

Once again relay 

Within their haunting stare

A love you took

When you went away

Contemplating if you are really here

Seeing you in a different light

As you come to me in the dark of night

I try to reach out

My hand passes through

An image of you

When I speak

Words don’t transcend

Your stare pierces

I don’t comprehend

The message you attempt to send

As you vanish

Once again 

Is miss you so 

My silent friend

A dark sky amid storms

The house so warm and dry

Thoughts of you return

To occupy my mind

A reluctant rainy day pastime

Sounds of drumming droplets

Pelting on the pane

A chorus that slowly lulls me astray

Clouded scenes reappear

I can’t turn away

A day akin 

So many years ago

To a time

When you were here

Arms that held me close

A trusted shield

A humming quaver

Within our souls

Each note derived

A paradise

To have and hold

Love meant to last

But like a storm

Change came fast

Old regrets

Etched on translucent glass

A stare that fades

A fleeting mist

A day can change

Most anything

A life once planned

While teardrops sing

As they silently fall upon 

The window pane

A painfull stain

Streaming silent sighs

As I held you tight

Crystal drops

Our shattered goodbye
