Somewhere A Window Opens Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

Like the grains in an hourglass,
memories slip through into a forgotten pool.
No remnant of joy perceived, or retained.
The grains, once on an endless beach
thrashed by oceans unceasing torment,
still warm underfoot from lovers walking
gentle steps within each others footprints.
At the lapping waters edge,
green weeds tangle, eating through the purity
Changing the crystal blue to lurid verdant.
Hiding the beauty that was from the obscurity that remains.
Deserted headland, promontory seeking inclusion.
Ever enveloped by the encroaching tide..
Worn away slowly, like love untended
Yet uncompromising and
seeking a lighthouse beacon
to focus on.
Cliffs, edging paradise yet, on a precipice
awaiting the inevitable and
crashing into a devouring sea..
Life and love becomes driftwood,
sailing away, out of sight..
But in the darkness approaching,
as hope and love become confounded,
forgotten, misremembered..
Still on a clifftop, a solitary structure remains
tettering, uncertain, condemned,
Slowly, with trembling hands and a hopeful heart,
a sanguine soul, ravenous to recapture enchantment,
opens a window to lookout, with ever trusting eyes
seeking a new horizon,
far, far beyond memory…
