.


The man
Keeps no distance from his grief
It ‘s a terrible way to be

And yet he lives
Acting in his way
As a memorial to who is lost

His white hair
Now falls around his ears
That hear only mourning
In the waves of the sea

And we in our play
Can only pause
Feel fear perhaps sadness
Not knowing what to say

We then watch him
Moving along the shore
So all alone

Feeling finally there’s nothing
We can do
