He Walked In Solitude
He walked in solitude along a stretch of shore
Head bowed, listening to the incoming tide,
Remembering the filmy silk cover-up she wore,
That day when he could ask for nothing more,
He’d asked for her hand in marriage with pride
He walked in solitude along a stretch of shore.
Now she had become part of his life’s lore,
He recalled a seashell she collected as a bride
Remembering the filmy silk cover-up she wore.
Losing her wounded him in his innermost core
He felt her loss intensely with each stride,
He walked in solitude along a stretch of shore.
For her to return to him, he would deeply implore
While knowing it could not be, for she had died
Remembering the filmy silk cover-up she wore.
So, he searched in meditation for an elusive door
Uniting their souls eternally, as they felt inside,
He walked in solitude along a stretch of shore
Remembering the filmy silk cover-up she wore.
