I sail past the lighthouse in a blue rubber boat
to a place on the sea where the wind stills
and quiet springs up with mothering arms.

A cast away orphan in the dark coat of grief,
I drift inconsolable through shifting perspectives,
whirlpools of light, waves of confusion.

          I never asked much - a cup of compassion,
          half teaspoon of truth, thimble of hope,
          a small measure of kindness from your better loaf.

Shadowy pale, I circumnavigate the steel
long bones of night, sing for the morning and names
written on water that pass out of sight.

The cycle completed, our words for each other
submerge under waves of insignificance
into dark waters of uncompromising silence
where the memories will remain untouched.

Truly remarkable, a beautiful tale of solitude. -TW
