Dreamer
Dreamer
When the memories overtake and the tears threaten to fall
I turn my face into the wind, letting its icy fingers grip me
Drying the drops falling down my cheeks
The cold stings and the salt air burns my eyes
The sun dips its head in recognition of my grief as darkness starts closing in.
All I can hear is the crashing of the waves
I’m waiting for the green flash as the sun says good night.
A cold warmth in a moment of loneliness.
Bare feet sinking into ice cold wet sand
My footprints disappearing with the waves
Like the memories and dreams in my head as they vanish.
Life steals away your youth and your body grows old.
But the memories are timeless
The dreams are endless
Life is a gift, reach out and run with it.
