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
