Alone

The wild sea rages and the moon hangs low in the sky
its golden orb shrouded by storm clouds black and menacing.

Far off down the beach a solitary figure walks.
Lost in thought, oblivous to the wind and rain.
His mind drifts back to happier times
when their love was fresh and new.

Forty years they lived together.....
taking the good with the bad
seeking each tomorrow knowing they had each other.

Suddenly she was gone and his world fell apart.

Lonliness is a silent partner
deep in the recesses of your mind.
He hopes for the end of his journey sooner then later.

Till then he travels alone walking the beach
feeling her hand in his.

Then his thoughts return to better days when they were young.

Quiet nights by the fire,
steamy nights of passion their first born,
all these come flooding back,
their love knew no bounds-everyday a new surprise.

Her touch is with him always,
her scent as she entered a room,
is recalled with tenderness.

She left these gifts for him to have until they meet again.
