As Oceans Spray
The fire within me
Extinguished with rain that fell from me.
Salty tears, as ocean spray
but heavy droplets.
I have been left only smoldering
a long ago pyre
Left in ash, scattered now.
Bits and jagged pieces of
crumbling driftwood
Consumed and left among the
sandy beach
Which was once a resilient soul?
of a young girl.
The forgotten heart
Obliterated by wind and storm
I tried once more…..
