The sand on my
feet
Reminds me I was with
you
Just a short time
ago,
So close that you touched
me
And still my heart
recalls
The way you
felt,
The tears I cried at the knowledge
of you
And how little I
grasp.
The nature before
me
Displayed your patient
love,
Slow and careful the
sun
Rose over glistening
sea,
Awakening life’s
dance
And me in its
current
Unable to
move,
Held fast by
revelation.
The memory will
fade
Though I etch it
upon
The mind at that moment
clear,
Exposed by the
light
And found
wanting,
Yet wholly free of fear,
The chains of the day broken
And I, your willing
captive.
