Shadowed Sands

A short piece. The first time I have ever attempted to write a love poem.
Shadowed Sands
as the waking sounds of morning and the last soft breath of night
retreated in surrender to the dawn’s early light
she walked across the shadowed sands to where the waters spoke
of the miles that they had travelled beneath a night time cloak
and her memories flooded back then - to a time - a life before
when laughter filled her being and love was at its core
to another dawn another time a million dreams ago
when even stars shone dimly in her heart’s radiant glow
no poet’s words had ever matched the lyric of her feeling
no song with verses rich enough no sweet love so revealing
and each remembered whisper that told of secrets shared
was a priceless magic moment – a time of love declared
but love is built on promises – some not forever cast
birthed into remorseless winds without the strength to last
and so with every wave that kissed the unforgiving shore
she walked her lonely tears across the shadowed sands once more
