The Waves

The Waves

The view is still the same

The Sun, the waves and the bright, blue sea

But so much has changed since then

In the reflections that I see

Charging into treacherous waters

Without care, the will to be free

Always knowing, ever trusting

That your strong hands will hold me


The waves sang a different tune then

As we walked hand in hand

The rays of the sun showering its warmth

Leaving our happy footprints on the sand

When life itself seemed to stretch ahead

To welcome us into a magical land

Endless like the sea seemed our love and happiness

The dreams that we shared, the future that we planned


We came again with our little one

Contended, fulfilled, the

excitement at seeing his eyes widen

Basking in our assurance, the waves seemed calm

Amidst the unknown expanse, our own little island

The rising waves graceful in a sweet symphony

Tiny feet, innocent chatter, we feel our hearts tighten

We watch him play, as the sun's golden rays

Shed glowing warmth over the beautiful horizon


Today I came alone, seeking some answers

Watching the sands from my grasp slip away

The ocean mellow, singing a forlorn tune

The waters bright no more, tinged with grey

I let my fears free, my sorrows into the sea

The tides wreak havoc, but the sea does not betray

It lies patiently and so shall I await

For a better tomorrow, I shall wait, for another day
