Ships

Ships When the ships sailed, I wasn’t sure whether to get on. What would I see in the vast ocean? Would I return? The sun set with brilliant colors. The sand glistened as sea gulls called. I wanted to fly like them, instead. Soar with the wind above the tides. I could feel my heart moving too. Then it came to me, thoughts of you. My friend, my savior, those years. I was not alone. I wasn’t lost. Maybe, the ocean is just too big. I would rather sit on the rocks And think of you, the security. So I stayed here on the shoreline. Dreaming of you, sitting by my side. Knowing we could have conquered the waves. Together in a timeless fashion of strength. I know you are waiting. I am living to bring to you… Every sunset I see, every word left unspoken. Heidi Sands
