Day: June 23, 2019

a sound of longing
of a broken heart
mournful for the one
lost to these silent fathoms
so very far away
on that long-ago day

now only they
know where her lover lies

so everyday she comes
and paints this magic portal
to this far off sea
to seek its mystery

and every night
as darkness falls
the enchantment breaks
and her flood of tears
washes it away

and yet again
her lonely heart
shatters in the silence

but she will return
in the light of every day
in spite of her sorrowed pain
to paint this sea again
and with plaintive call
beseech this cruel sea
to reveal its precious mystery
