Notes About The Poem

I Wait For You

You'll soon be here
It's quiet now, all have gone
Last light
softens what was too bright before
the surf kicks a ball
as if to say
come play
with water teasing my toes

I wait here for you
one bird curiously inspects my wheels
tries to tear a worm away

The sky draws purple shawls
slowly waving in the evening wind
I still wait for you
In last fringes of light

I need to save myself
From floods rising fast
in my eyes
I give the ball back to the ocean
