Time To Let It Be... Poem by chantelle ribeiro

I wrote your name near the water's edge
And watched the high tide coming in
With each wave a little was erased
Like the days gone by since I saw your face
Each day closer to being healed
A step further from you and me
I watch the sunset
Colors painted by God's Hand
Your eyes the color of the sand
My tears carried off by the wind
Silently I tremble within
A calmness envelopes me
Your name has gone
Forever free
Drowned and swept away by the tides
To another place another time
And I alone on the beach
Knows it's time to let it be...
