Washed Away

Dont despair that I dont miss you want to hold you wait to kiss you I cant see you , I can feel you with a heart line I can reel you Right back in just like the River HOMOSASSA taker, giver In some light you flow beside me seek to steer me, move me, guide me To a place I cant remember Like a glowing, dying ember Of a time I cant recall But I know you have it all Saved on waves of long ago Washed up somewhere I cant know Where each tide must rise and fall Some Lagoon where nightbirds call Everyone sits 'round the glow Waiting for someone to know How to read the map to find me Even I am left behind me.

What a great read! It stirs emotions that have long been asleep in me. It takes me back to a time when I felt so lost, not even my closest friends knew how to reel me back in to reality. Intricate. Delicate.
