I dreamed the scenes of one who never dreams;
forever roamed beaches where waves run dry.
Too busy brushing the edge of fortitude
with latitude to bare the trust of love.
You stumbled while letting the ink bleed;
sighing, your meaning of love was dying.
Understanding the lack of goodbyes,
you let words on paper replace the tears.
We were each seeking refuge in solitude,
living off the love of our children,
contemplating time’s unpredictable frailty
when we read between the lines – yours-n-mine.
I scribbled loathsome, keyboard letters
about spring’s cold heart hardening
to summer’s wilting flowers - yet to bloom.
You entered verse filled silent sighs
of unattended gardens surviving near beaches
where waves spread themselves too thin.
You spoke
and my words found new meanings;
I offered my hand
and risk sang the softer song of love.
