Sunset Shore

Sunset shore

Of sandy Cali beaches

With your silhouette,

Gliding across wet sand.

You leave no trace

Of ever walking these shores,

For your footprints

Disappear,

As the waves wash them away.

But I know it was you,

It always has been.

Bringing my sunsets,

Auroras of orange,

You stain my skies,

With a brilliant brightness

That reflects off these waters

And into my heart.

The pebbles beneath my feet,

Crunching beneath my toes,

Were once yours.

Until you went East

For a sunrise.

And now these stones

Drag down the sun

As it plunges beneath the surface

Of the brilliant blue.

I watch quietly

As my sky darkens,

Knowing,

You will soon get the sunrise

That you've always given me,

And that you've always deserved.

Thank you,

From the sunset shore,

Of sandy Cali beaches.

The thoughts of this piece brings one of longing and separation in the lines...yet the ending wraps this nicely with the passage of words you weave about the story...that even form a long distance both share an event of equal measure...
