a repost



He sits along the shoreline
As he gazes out to sea
The ocean still reminds him
Of the way things used to be

It was here that he first met her
It was here she went away
He has never been the man he was
Since that fateful day

Each day along the ocean
They would frolic in the sand
Each night they watched the sunset
As they held each other’s hand

The two of them bound by a love
That grows with every day
But then one day while he was gone
The sea took her away

At night now in the darkness
On the rocks along the sea
He sits and listens for her
And recalls each memory

Then sometimes as he listens
He can hear her tender voice
The whispers of an angel
Piercing through the ocean’s noise

From somewhere in the mist she calls
As if to show the way
She beckons him to be with her
Where together they would stay

Then one night where the land meets sea
His pain came to an end
And now they are forever
Back together once again

If you should take a seashell
And hold it to your ear
If you listen very carefully
The ocean you will hear

Or could it be a song of love
That echoes from the shell
A love between two spirits
That beneath the ocean dwell.
