High Tide. Poem by Karlo Avenido

High Tide.

Rating: 5.0


Whisper upon me
the very words you say
to the shore
that you loved
as much as I loved you.

The call rises from the tides
summoning us from the dawn
sitting still
like ardent children
or a melancholy choir.

The sand bows down to us
a weary servant
on which we sign our names
to be washed away forever
by the incoming tides.
