Arrested, Captured, and Released

I was arrested by your soothing sounds of the sea. No need to roam, I felt at home in the arms of your liberty. My sealed lips will have nothing more I wish to say. But presently, with these eyes, I will look away. From my heart, in tears, I will turn away. With my two ears, without delay, I will tune out. With certainty, my tangled mind will be tossed about; Especially when I recall those faithful, nightly summer breezes. I don't like goodbyes. no matter how hard I try, it's never easy. I doubt that you will ever be one who binds and holds, one who refuses to let go, unable to release. Rather, I sense that it is I who need to release and set me free. By you I was embraced and captured by your graciousness. But now, wherever our trees have fallen, we must let them lay. However, from the depths of my soul I say, I will weep away. 090321PS
