Safe At Last
You left me stranded on a beach. Alone. I don't feel safe without you.
I crossed a bridge onto a new beach looking for safety
but none was there.
I wandered aimlessly over sand dunes bewitched by your memory.
Seeing your face, I traced your smile in the sand to feel safe again
but I didn't.
Your voice echoing in my heart, in all my being is beginning to fade.
I try to hold on to your words of love that once kept me safe
but I can't.
I'll wait on this wharf of fading dreams, hoping, praying a ferry will come
and take me to wherever you are, to where I can again feel
Safe at Lasts.
