Timid Whispers

by Michael

The climbing sun
burns away
the cool, damp freshness
of morning
and as it does,
it becomes
just another day
like
all the rest.

I walk
along the shore,
still shrouded in mist,
picking up shells
the receding tide has
left stranded.

The call of gulls,
that lonely,
mournful
sound,
so like my thoughts.

I turn to see
one set of prints
left
in the sand.

I remember when another's
would've been beside my own.

Holding hands,
we would've laughed
and joked
as we walked beside
the sea.

In timid whispers,
I still speak
her pretty name
and so ache
for
her dear touch.

I walked that sand with but one pair of prints left behind to the swell of time and tide. Good write!

Michael~

Perhaps upon
return of tide
one will come
to walk beside
hold your hand
in gentle spray
as footprints dance
where sea gulls play

*Yours was so lovely ...
pure inspiration.
Thank you for sharing.
