Picture
Beside the swell of ocean waves
That strain to reach the eastern coast,
There lies away a distant dream
From which I haven’t yet awoke
Her silhouette is bathed in rays
As fingers stretch and bend to pluck
A song that I will never know,
With feelings I can never touch
But still I see that subtle grace
Left yet unmarred by years undone,
Still held within her sea-green eyes
As she looks westward, toward the sun.
