Whew so sorry it took me awhile to get around to editing. I have not found time to add more to this story; however the least I can do is make it look pretty. Read & Review =)
Lost
Pale emeralds
Gaze upon the world
With a child's awe
And wonder,
Down her back in soft tresses
Sakura blossoms fall
Caught in a sea breeze
They dance,
Slowly her limbs untwine
Uncaring
If danger should approach,
When she sees the color of the sea
A deep cerulean blue
Beckons her forward,
Like a newborn babe
She stumbles
But does not waver,
Senses wash over her
As softly as the waves
Do her toes,
Where am I?
The lone thought echoes
Meaninglessly,
Ah
That's right
She is waiting
She is waiting for him
The one whose eyes match the sea,
Each thought
Added beauty to her world
White sand
But not so white
That it pained the eyes
An endless ocean
She loved the ocean
The ocean reminded her
Of him,
The horizon was engulfed
In an eerie light
Of a thousand Willow-of the-wisps,
Celestial bodies
Could be seen
Falling and rising
In their never ending cycle,
How did I get here?
Her thoughts betrayed
The world darkened
Flashes of red burned
The edges of her memory
Demanding entrance
Blood
An all-consuming redness
Broken and twisted
Her body lay
Life
All her life was leaving
As surely and swiftly
As the blood
Soaking the Earth
Eternity passed in seconds
Infinite passed in minutes
Warmth
She was so warm
He was smiling at her
Though she knew
He would cry
"Nar…u…to"
Light crept back into the world
Curled up in the sand like a child
She lay,
Willow-of the-wisps
Glittered and danced
Whispering
Of secrets
No human could know,
She rose
One day he would come
Just as he always had,
Salty tears dried
Forming crystals
Soon brushed away
By balmy sea winds,
Pale pink lashes
Fluttered shut,
His goofy smile
Graced her memory
"I will be waiting…"
"…I promise"
