Beach Notes
Sand erodes beneath my feet
as the waves again retreat
seaweed and dead jellyfish
are left upon the beach
I think of you this moment
the memory stings and bites
didn’t mean to hurt you
forgive me
I would try to make it right
I heard you in my head
when you did not say goodbye
all those hurtful words
I heard in no reply
The endless ocean rolls and breaks
upon this empty stretch of sand
As I turn to leave, I didn’t hear you say
come here and take my hand
