When the sun sinks,
And the night draws its cloak around me,
I no longer control my mood.
I am as the stars and the moon say I should be,
A hovering figure in the mist and spray of the ocean,
Gazing along the shoreline and wishing,
To be some magical part of the walk.
It is I who feeds the ocean its salt,
With tears shed for another lonely wish,
To be among lovers.
I am but a figure in the wind,
Flowing gown connected to the waves,
Pouncing in play on the sand,
Then quickly withdrawing,
Remembering my place.
Lest I sink into the sand graze the grains.
Let me not settle here for I am too afraid.
When the sun sinks,
The night draws its cloak around me,
And I am a figure in the mist and spray of the ocean.
A strong towering wave being shoved by the wind,
Upon jagged and rough rocks,
And yet I stay here almost imploring someone,
To finally break my strength,
So I can crack.
So I can fall.
So the tears can cease again,
And I no longer have to share my salt,
With a thirsty ocean.

still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d
I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

Very sad to being yourself an ocean of tears. Joyce

it is when this happens. . . that we share our tears with one another. . . that love finds its home. . .

excellent. . . well written. . .

Softly poignant. Beautifully written. I'll watch for you at the beach.

Yes, and when there's a full moon, believe me, we're all in trouble
