The Sea

The waves
  Climb and touch
               The hazy sky
                          The sand
                            Shapes
                    Into dunes
              Impassable

         Alone
      She watches
    She waits
   For a sign
 

The girl strains
    Her eyes to see

  If there is any trace
                           Of land
                       Of people
                    Of more

           Desperate
     She yearns
 For comraderie
For closure

For him

  Years
     Pass by
          And she
            Continues
                   To hope
                And pray

        The deep blue
     Stretches out
 Endlessly
 Seeming as

   Infinity
