Lost at sea….hundreds of miles from where words could sting
Finding solitude only brings thoughts…memories
Words replaced …the sting of sea spray and absent skin
Memories of warmth and a smile that melts me
Falling over backward
Forgetting to let go of the deep breath just taken in
I left these shores to run
Knowing I would never forget
Smile fades
Replaced by a sweeter sadness
A questioning
Listening to the rain
Trying to pick out patterns in the waves
Nothing seems to make sense
The only answer seems to be a smile
Now a memory
Accompanied by eyes that always knew
So much deeper than the sea they mimic
Where to go from here
The answers never close at hand
There is a peace in memories
A pain in the absence
Forgetting how to smile
I find the desire to learn again
