Safe At Last

You left me stranded on a beach. Alone. I don't feel safe without you. I crossed a bridge onto a new beach looking for safety but none was there. I wandered aimlessly over sand dunes bewitched by your memory. Seeing your face, I traced your smile in the sand to feel safe again but I didn't. Your voice echoing in my heart, in all my being is beginning to fade. I try to hold on to your words of love that once kept me safe but I can't. I'll wait on this wharf of fading dreams, hoping, praying a ferry will come and take me to wherever you are, to where I can again feel Safe at Lasts.
