Memories Recollection

There I stand, face to face with the sea

Sometimes life just feels so large and I feel so tiny, crested up against the floor of ambiguity and not knowing.

I stand bare feet,

toes etched into the sand, blistering with calluses that have built up from the ware and tare of time.

I look out, legs bare and soul etched like glass. I don’t know what I’m looking for, but I’m looking and thats all that matters. I look forward because I don’t want to look behind me, I don’t want to look down at those feet, and I don’t feel the strength to look up… so I look forward, deeply.

I remember you would brush my hair, stroking the loose strands of blonde and gold that shone like sunbeams between your fingers. You told me I was your sun, and you were my angel. Our hands interlocked,

you loved me,

watching my soul grow larger each day

larger than life we lived

I like to look out towards the sea and get lost in the

sand and waves that enumerate on the shore - backwards and forwards

musing the sand with its velvet hand.

Like the velvet of your caress,

the touch of the water against the shore,

the caress of sunlight and blue all brings me back to those time of just

you and I

on that summer day

So there I stood, face to face with the sea.

It takes all my strength to stand, but I am standing.. It takes all my strength to breath through the aching ligaments of lung and throat, but breath I do.

It takes all my strength, but all my strength I give.

I don’t understand you.

I don’t understand how you can change the way I think, or the way

I believe things. The way I respond and see.

I don’t understand how you dream and respond to life with no restraint,

no barriers, no walls that keep you safe.

like the mass of curls on your head

or the crack in your voice that breaks, betraying your soul,

or the way your hands are parched and melodic - strumming at those strings and

creating. dreaming.

It terrifies me; your honesty.

For you are a free bird, unafraid of wind or current or change or wild.

Your beauty is terrifying.

And l can’t help but be mesmerized by it.
