This is a poem of longing. Imagine the waves of the ocean crashing against the shore. Then imagine a lover longing to be reunited again with the one who has left them on this earth alone, seeking the questions of eternity.
The Silence Before the Sun:
The ocean calls to me like a lover
It is the dawning of a brand new day
The wind is gently caressing my hair
I listen to the stories that she says
The open sky becomes a painter's canvas
Soon to be covered in shades of deep blue
I am standing alone at the shoreline
Thoughts and memories remind me of you
The foamy tides of the vast blue ocean
Crash with fury against the rocky shores
The seagulls flying in endless circles
I always wonder if they know what for?
Against this portrait of nature's beauty
I reach out and search for my lovers hand
Why is my lover not here with me now?
Looking for answers I don't understand
In my heart there is an empty feeling
Tears are filling the floodgate of my eyes
I remember times we spent together
When I think of you I begin to cry
Cruel fate has taken you away from me
I witness the sun rising from the sea
If we meet again in the afterlife
My darling, would you still remember me?
Know I will always love you forever
Just like the promise of the coming day
As the tides push and pull from the ocean
I kneel on the golden sands and pray
May the light of heaven shine down on you
As the sun is sets slowly on the sea
We will be reunited forever
Our spirits together in eternity
