Elegy

The waves are quiet today

As they move along this

Briny beach, advancing

And receding as they

Have for so many years.

As I look upon this

Seascape, I think of

You. I think how

hollow the vista looks

Without you here. I

Think of you with me

And about how much

you would have loved it.

I think of you smiling.

And as I struggle to

Smile, as I know you

Would have wanted me to,

I pray that one day,

I will close my eyes, and

Stand with you on this

Beach, watching the

Waves come and go,

And watching you smile.
