The Power of Love
Sitting on the shore of the ocean, the waves gentle and calm
touching me, as if, they felt the way I love you.
The sun setting slowly, looking almost as if, into the ocean
itself; shined it's last ray of light upon me, also feeling the strength
of my love for you.
Possessed with the feeling of love, I begin walking barefoot in the sand,
toward an image of you.
Visions of you flashing rapidly through my mind, force me faster
toward your image.
Close enough to touch, I stand and watch as you image disappears
into the fog.
Once again, I sit on the ocean's shore touching every wave; but now,
only I can feel and know of the way I love you.
