Picture Provided By Bernie Slicker


Within

I walked
along the beach
of blue
tried to follow
footprints left
of you

the wind
had blown them
all away
so on the grains
of blue I lost
my way

couldn’t find
my direction
anymore
aimless to walk
upon the shore

I sat
waiting for the tide
to come in
realizing
the way home
is within



"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

"the way home is within"... as it has always been.
Enjoyed this.

(Just for kicks, try dropping 'lost' in the third stanza and 'so' in the last stanza.)
