At this shore

standing at this shore

I am lost between the surge

and retreat of the endless waves

each surge injects me with

every passing thought 

I've had of you

it pushes each future memory of you

into the depths of my soul

and drowns me in

your voice I've never heard

each retreating wave takes you away

further out to sea from me

pulling at the grasp I've made

for you for all these years

this shore is where 

I can turn to take my path

on safe ordinary dirt in solitude

or I can follow the retreating waves

further out to sea

where they've taken you from me

and get drowned in your voice

I will hear some October morning
