Shores
Shores
Walking on the shore of loneliness
Comfortable I sink my toes into the sands of life
And feel its time squeeze through these toes.
Behind me I can see the footprints left
Now a single pair, marking the moist sand midst
Pieces of polished glass and shells of my pain
Smoothed by sand’s force to etch the edges’
Sharp piercing power.
I look to the future watching
The sun’s warmth dip
Into the sea of gradual darkness.
Then you, a wild wave crashes overhead
Enveloping me in your power
Swirling the sand away beneath me
Sweeping me from my valiant stance
Sucking me under into your passion’s tide.
Picking up long buried sharp shards of brokenness
You pierce my vulnerability and I wash to the shore
Exposed and panting for air.
