This entry is part 20 of 45 in the series Poetry of Life, Death & the In-between

I walked along the beach today remembering you 

so many words I cannot say, so many memories through 

I cried seeing the beauty, I laughed forgetting the pain 

A sad heart beats in me,  sad since you came 

into my life one day and in a moment fled away… 

This storm in my mind of near-forgotten images, sensations: 

an A-frame…a sunset…cold crashing waves…

cool sand…bare feet…washing…washing…washing

brushes of peace. . .touches of love. . .now so far far away… 

I walked along the beach today… 

I cried as sunlight glistened on the waves… 

waves rushing, crashing, receding, fleeing 

away 

I fly away 

I kneel to pray for a new day 

an old life long gone away… 

the beauty—I see it here, feel it near, sounds I hear. . .

the truest beauty rushed upon me, washed over me… 

& crashed away 

I walked along the beach today

remembering you.

      • Thanks for the comment, Adira. I hope you are still able to find some positive in the variety & beauty of storms though. There’s something so wild as well as soothing that I find on stormy days. ☺️
