bernadette de los santos
11 may 2004
the sea welcomes me with open arms
beckoning, tempting.
the sound of the waves appeases my listless soul.
the sea swallows every tear i cry,
engulfing my unhappiness
with its immensity.
i face time cowering,
my hands shutting off the sight.
as i hear the clock ticks,
my grief meanders to sorrow.
why pass away now,
when i’ve almost reached my destiny?
my tears start to swell again,
to the rhythm of the waves.
my tears start to surge again,
as the rains reach out to touch my face.
