A Thing Promised

I stood
Just beyond
The reach of the sea
Singing softly
My silent plea

With sea-soaked sand beneath my feet
And wave after wave lapping the beach
I asked forgiveness for all my sins
Purged inner sufferings from deep within

I asked of “Forever” where could they be
The joy and happiness long promised me

“Forever” smiled her infinite way
Whispering softly: “They’ll be here today”

Through storms they rode the raging sea
To make their way—here—back to me

In the midst of predators, they braved the night
Sea gulls overhead, suspended in flight

Fighting off fatigue, they contemplated their plight
As sharks swam closely…sheltered from sight

I languished
At the onset
Of forevermore
‘Til nature’s cleaver antics
Began to pour

While Joy draped me in its warm embrace
Happiness offered a soothing taste (of)
Tomorrow smiles through forever days
And clear horizons where once was haze

When twilight’s last gleam screamed “Eternity” into being
We united as one. We became best friends

When twilight’s last gleam screamed “Eternity” into being
We united as one. We became best friends

in the rain kneeling beside the warm sea
thinking of the lighthouse within
i asked the waves to carry my prayer for me
to be forgiven for all sin

the blue thoughts began to take to the sky
my healing becoming complete
down the beach a silhouette of a guy
with sea-soaked sand beneath his feet

his spirit full of light, my soul hummed softly
rain clouds releasing the full moon
stars fly, moonlight circling his body
joy so near watching him til noon

me all smiles knowing some how in the end
as one he and i will be forever friends
