Longing

And then I wandered on the shore

and felt upon my face

the wind whipped waves

mingling with my tears

And I called to her

and listened for her reply

in the ocean’s moan

and the whisper of the surf

And I ran and

danced among the waves

as we did on those bright summer days

of boundless joy

And longing for her now

among the sweep and flow

of this endless sand

I seek the sound

Of her laughter

and follow it to my heart
