Musings On a Silent Night By the Sea Side

Sitting on the rock
I waited patiently
For the waves, wondering
Which one would touch my feet?

The one least expected
Engulfed me in its brace
Surprising me at the response
To a feeling I thought long dead

In a split second
My wave was lost
Among wayfaring waves
Bound for shores afar

Before it left
It taught me I was alive
Leaving a hope in my heart
That our roads may again cross…..

it always is so what we least expect is what endears us to it - and roads do cross at points - lovely lines
