tides disappeared — to show a calm ocean. waves touched the shore briefly, colored in blue — more mesmerizing than the sky above. the storm passed slowly, to let the stars shine. the moon hid behind clouds, feeling shy. night became silent, to let the wind hum. the humming — serene and aching — mirroring life itself. cold breeze flowed like gentle petals. as it touched my soul, you appeared there. old, forgotten love revived — eyes glowed with tears. lips curved into a smile, sad and true; loved by the cruel. breath left — lighting this vessel. darkness bloomed through your absence. how can I forget you? you live in every beauty that surrounds me. forever yours.
