Love Lost
You look around at the earth and see where
the sea once was, the deserts, the low lands,
the water marks on the mountains, and here
is a shell in a cave, tens of thousands
of feet in the air. There in the ocean
is a city where once lives were cherished.
Road leads into a bay, once a portion
of the main, now to memories ravished
of all their knowledge. Was there no one there
to mark passing, so gradual and so
imperceptible that only obscure
reminders, lost in time, a change so slow
no one noticed or change so dramatic
they all were left blinded and traumatic
