And a Thousand More
the aurora of day rose
crimson across the ivory veil
of half clouded skies
the horizon seemed endless
atop the blue water
as its light reflected back
between the peaks
of waves that tumbled forward
wet-kissing the sand
the howl of the ocean
fell silent
beneath the pause of wind
as did my heart
in realizing the distance
is greater between us
than what i see
before my own eyes
the salty spray
mingled with the tears
that traced my face
as i mourned
more than a thousand days
that you've been gone
