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.

I read this and felt a little guilty. I've been not so kind lately. Thanks Chelci.

A gentle, sweet poem, that expresses a sentiment held dear to my heart too, Patti.

I had to read the title to understand what was happening, and I still liked the flow of this poem before I had any idea, John.

Your last line should be memorized by every person who ever lived in every country, in every possible sense of the word life.
