Sands of Fortune swirl past my eyes
As the bleached bones of the un-living
Are once again cleansed by the tide
Frothy water hushes our exchange
While we walk in search of constancy
on this ancient shore of change
Her many layers of faith, quietly challenged and bent
The breeze stiffens, demands respect
Vacationers, gulls and tents
Where confidence once reigned
Uncertainty lingers, questions left unsaid
Adrenaline and speed once hallmarks of summer’s sweat
Fleeting as these mussels now long dead
Joints protest as sand retreats, foundation becomes unsettled
Her hand reaches, fingers searching, steadiness offered now
Her smile calms this sea
Quiets the breeze and begs
Hold my hand and walk with me
Whisper to me
While we renew
Our vow
Too lovely for words.
