Sun shone brightly on the
waters, such a deep blue-gray wind played with waves,
And we laid back, dangling fingers into the ice-cold stuff,
Talking of
snapping turtles and the ways the leaves float by…
And the trees wave to us as we pass, so lazily along the wavelets,
Ends of
hair are wet now…wring them out and squeal as they cold hits my back
And laugh, splashing the
water playfully at each other.
I miss the way that was, that
carefree feeling, the warmth of the
sun on my arms,
And I know that when this one ends, there will be another
love,
Another
home, another
place and
time and
distance,
I will never be alone, just as I was not alone on that lake, somewhere in
Pennsylvania.
Bubbles beneath the surface and I think,
sadness, about someone in a
shell,
Someone far from here, and in a very different
world, who wishes to forget me,
And I will let him, in time, but right now, I need to make sure he’s happy in
Yet another
home, another
place and
time and
distance,
And I will never be
alone, do you hear me, you, someone in
Arizona?
