The Shore Poem by James Casey

As again I sit beside the sea
All I ask of you and me
One last sunrise by the shore
Where I once cast our forevermore…

One last embrace upon the sands
Of a time, when we once graced the strand
A seaside bar, then that thunderstorm
Wished we had danced, and had formed…

A bond we'll share forevermore
Tis ours, let's go once again, before
We lose our path, our ways and dreams
Then embarked on such extremes…

One last time beside that sea
Where I once dreamt of what's to be
One last dawn to crest above
This sea I came to know and love…

The cottage I would build someday
Among the sea oats, and waterway
Am I a fool in asking for
Once last visit beside the shore? '

Tell me
