Watching and Waiting
The waves are splashing upon the sand here by the sea.
The heavens are awash with the light of a bright full moon.
I am standing…waiting;
Safe upon the shore,
While out there…
My love rides upon the waves.
The ocean has carried him far…so very far away from me.
I clutch at the locket where a likeness of him resides;
A prayer upon my lips.
My eyes are locked upon this vast ocean,
Searching the roaming and ceaseless waves,
But these waves do not offer me that which I so desperately seek.
The night grows long,
I know that I cannot stay here forever…watching and waiting;
I must go.
I tear myself away;
Leaving only my tears to be washed away with the tide,
And my heart far out at sea.
