SILENT DREAM
Silent dream
Comes to mind once more
We float along the shore
Seeming to barely
Touch the damp sand
Our arms graceful wings
Our hearts pound as one
The end of the beach
Still far out of sight
The loneliness of the ocean
Felt by its endless yearning waves
Seeking rocky boulders to lash out at
To seek evisceration in salt spray
Disappearing into sunny sky
Our sense of belonging to each other –
A shared life –
Remains in my consciousness
As our children grow
And find their own loves and lives
In a vast and changing world
Where I am the remainder –
The element of survival and consistency
The laughter in an empty room
Discoveries of things you left behind –
Things never seen clearly before
Become voices from the past
Recalling the events, the smiles, the kisses
Shared by a pair of fortunate souls
Who knew the rare air they breathed together
Having once ran the shore alone
And recalling the remarkable difference
When our minds sought the same goals
