footprints remembering her in the water remembering her across the sand remembering our short time together walking slowly hand in hand surfers searching for the perfect wave summer girls laying exposed to tan she was splashing softly falling into the water as we ran watching the sun setting too quickly turning our precious day into night a sure sign of what was to come the darkening evening twilight pier lights glowing high tide rolling evening stars beginning to shine our last night together will haunt me forever not knowing what was on her mind she was always a little sad you could tell that she had a lot hidden beneath her surface glow I seldom thought our love would ever be for her enough and soon out of it she’d flow we were sleeping on the beach she was close enough to reach wrapped in a blanket warm and tight but she would soon slip away its still hard for me to say I awoke and she was gone out of sight in the moonlight I searched around looking far then looking down I saw her small footprints in the sand they went straight into the waves her chosen path an ocean grave something I will never ever understand |

Just like the title, footprints in the sand, they disappear when the waves come in , just as she disappeared, out of your life. Very cool! |

The emotions and images were so vividly descriptive and real, that I felt as though this was a true story. If so, then I am truly sorry for your loss. Either way, the story was very touching. Hugs to you, Linda |

WOW!!! This absolutely beautiful!! So sad and yet so full of hope that we can experience such emotion... even if for a fraction of a moment.... even if it goes away before we realize.... but you will hold the memory of that second, that hour, that day.. Lovely Mark... brought tears to my eyes with its beauty.. Thank you for sharing! Jen--->MindBodySoul |
