I know the direction you've traveled,
and by this time safe harbor have found.
Your heart was full like a galleon,
to the brim with gold dug from
marked ground. I felt richer in
life from just being slipped near
by.Now that night has arrived,
I gaze through the dark sky.
What then if I took the journey,
on the rolling waves of the sea?
Would I be captured by pirates,
and by chance be able to flee? Or if
dashed upon rocks in a swelling
rain storm, could love help sustain me,
and bundle me warm? You have sailed
far away, and distant from me, but your
memories still knock on my door.
Like a fabled old yarn, spun in
whispers and legends,
and told on a foreign shore.

A lovely, lovely lament... full of pleasing sonics and poignant longing... a pleasure to read

Pondering an alternative choice is something we do ever so often.

You expressed this well.

Love,
