I followed your beacon
As you searched for me
My steps retraced
Muscle memory
Feet gripping the smooth
Open road, til I am no longer
Wandering alone
You embrace me
Warm, soft welcome
This ground gives way
So easily. Yet holds me firm
When I fall to my knees.
I unburden my heart
Of fears and doubts
And trust that you remember
Those days when I
Would sit with you for hours
Letting your grains slip
Through my tiny fingers
As I saw for the first time
The beauty of the sea.
So here I have returned
To see your darkest form
How is it that your virtue
Can be cleansed with every storm?
Your great expanse has
Spread far beyond my reach
Inky waters lapping
Towards a baron beach.
I find myself compelled
To wade into the deep
To let your love engulf me
Dissolving into sleep.
