Gales of the Wind

He had quietly drifted like a sailboat

in the turbulent gales of the wind

 Sunset vanished within tears of her eyes,

as salty breezes kissed her skin~

 

She sat upon the dock of disbelief

as the moonlight took her hand,

as the discontented waves

crashed upon the ivory sand~

 

The shadows of the past linger

as lavender twilight appears,

and their footprints upon the beach

are now embedded in her tears.

memories in footprints upon a beach....a beach now shrouded in clouds...and painful longings...

such sadness, so forlorn...but expressed with incredible imagery.
