Winter’s Tide


I walked the beach
this morning
breathing in
the chill
winter sprayed
across the water
exposing more
than I cared to feel
today I walked it
alone
the same places
I had been with you
and the white sand
had turned gray
I had to admit
it was a different view
I could again
see you in the surf
swimming close
and by my side
I turned when I heard
the gulls crying
and you were gone
just like the tide
