I’ve been sitting here
with my feet in the sand
watching people pass
hand in hand
I see the words
spoken in their eyes
and silently I wish
in painful realize

I’ve been sitting here
just taking in the view
lost in my thoughts
thinking of you
as the day fades
night drifts in slowly to this beach
and I wonder softly
why are you so out of reach

I’ve been sitting here
watching each wave rise and retreat
this ache inside
has left me feeling incomplete
and like the passing of ships
in night of pitch black
if I reach out, I wonder
are you reaching back?

Well I looked to the sky for my anthem
The words and the music came through
But words and music can never touch
The beauty that I've seen in you

you often say don't read everything into your poems...so I am responding by saying you wrote a wonderful "feeling" poem today.

are you reaching back?"

This image is of great lonliness. To watch something dark crawling in onto the shores of your heart. Waiting....Soft and yet blue. A very poignant picture. Thank you for sharing.

Sincerely,
Regina
