Footprints By The Sea

Seashore,
treacherous sand
I walk upon

Longing
for love
that's not mine

Sea
foams, ephemeral
like his love

Sun
slowly descends
into the shadows

Sluttish time would
blow away
memories

The sea would
erase my
footprints

Resplendent, eternal sun
would still
rise

And the seashore
would remain
forever.
