   SEA AND SAND... a poem by me
There once was I
Who was but an empty Shell
In the sun for the first time
Yet pounded by the tide
And by the Sea
On the Sands of time

Once there came by
A little child
Both fine and fair
Whose countenance was like the Sands themselves;
And became my home
My home, deep and warm
And soothing
I loved her then.

Clenching tighter
And clinging
As if let go, time would stop
And life would cease
I was happy
And I could feel my heart beat again

Home,
I came to live in Their home
A Family, a love
A life
Above the hearth
Was I displayed
Like a great prize
I loved my home
And I loved Them then

Yet I was left
To accumulate dust
And my shine and color at last began to fade

There was another
Who warmed my heart
Who did not live at this Family’s home
But he was as one of Them
As one of our own
Even as I faded
He came
And he lifted me up
(Every now and then)
To wipe my sordid form
And wash the filth away
I loved him then

He even listened to my heart
And he told me,
In my heart he heard the depth of the ocean
Always moving
Always changing
Coming back and forth
Everyday
Yet I was no longer there
The Sea had already begun to weep

Even so,
I faded to from color
Years had passed on by then
And I saw no more visitors
Yet I remembered Them

In the end,
I was forgotten
Until there came another
From deep within a lonely vision
With a touch as warm as sunlight
And eyes as deep as the night
He took me away
Far from my home
From my Family
And I did not love him

He was running
Always running
Others saw him as blessed
That he could ride both waves and wind
And climbed to the peak of the mountaintops
Others thought he was blessed
But he put back on my shoulders
All filth the Others washed away

I looked up at him in disgust
For he was so blessed
And he stole me away
But looking at his face,
I saw him weeping
Bitterly weeping for all his lies
I looked at him deeper
And I understood
He screamed into the void,
“I was a child in your home,
And you never held me.
I was a part of your Kin,
Yet you turned against me
I have loved you for years,
But you never extended a hand
Or an ear to share my pain”
He wept and covered his face
And I understood,
But I did not love him

He held me close
I could not breathe
But I became his heart
For once in all these years
Was one who would not let go
For if he did, time would stop
Never did we speak
And never did we smile
Always,
He was weeping

Then we saw the Sea
He told me it was calling
And I saw him
He was smiling
He was crying
He said I was home
Still I did not love him
I only remembered Them

Weeping he let me down
And before he left me,
I heard him say:

“I am
Torn between two loyalties,
The Light and Darkness
And the Sea and the Sand
But I cannot afford to halt.
Lest I move, I risk death and more;
So I continue to press on
Trapped in these chains
Bound by day,
And yet tortured at night
Trudging along the Sands of Time”

Against the wind, he struggled
Hard in the Sand
And into the Sea
And sank into a deeper darkness…

Though now I begin to forget,
I love Them still
But I did not love him...
