Silently Waiting
Her footsteps in the sand,
Deep in the dark of the night,
Sheltered by the wakes,
She waits as she dreams.
The fall of the waves gently touch her feet,
Silently she gazes out to sea,
Moonlit eyes reflect the sorrow of days gone by,
For hopes that used to be.
Images flicker across the water,
Awakening sleeping ghosts,
The voices heard in the breeze,
Are but echoes of yesterday.
A golden light sweeps the sky,
Softly she rises to her feet,
One last hopeful glance,
And she silently fades away into the night.
Deep in the dark of the night,
Sheltered by the wakes,
She waits as she dreams.
The fall of the waves gently touch her feet,
Silently she gazes out to sea,
Moonlit eyes reflect the sorrow of days gone by,
For hopes that used to be.
Images flicker across the water,
Awakening sleeping ghosts,
The voices heard in the breeze,
Are but echoes of yesterday.
A golden light sweeps the sky,
Softly she rises to her feet,
One last hopeful glance,
And she silently fades away into the night.
