Standing Here

stalwart i stand
on the edge of this sand
listening to the relentless waves
pounding like my heart
as i watch
this storm
approach

the skies are dark
like these days
rolling on by
without even a glisten
of stars 
from skies
or your eyes

memories
like grains of sand
are twirling around
in the turbulence
as i watch
helplessly

i feel the sultry air
breathing
against my flesh
and get lost
momentarily
in thoughts
of you

awoken
by the rains
falling from skies
and eyes
stalwart i stand
alone
on the sands of time

I could just picture the scene Sandra, a girl alone with her thoughts. Tom
