Old Scar, New Pain

.

Across  the  windswept  sea  swaying, 
                      tossing,

sunlight strews diamond dust, sparkling, 
                     dancing.


      The din of the onrushing waves 
                      behind

makes the love song that you summon 
                   in your mind


        sound desolate, garbled and 
                    fragmented

     with the pain of an old scar newly 
                      wounded.
