Description
The Tide
The tide came in so suddenly,
lifted me, weightless, willing
to be laid upon the shore,
washing over me
a soothing salty fragrance,
kissing me with sea mist-
and I-
surrendering-
reveled in it.
But as tides will do, it ebbed
and drew itself away from me,
leaving me wet and weighted
upon the naked shore,
so far removed
from the caress of the sea -
and I-
achingly-
alone then, was bereft.
I willed myself to walk away
to put the loss behind me,
to push the memory aside,
but I was haunted
and returned to feel the sea
reward me for my faithfulness-
and I-
renewed now-
close embraced it.

You might enjoy, as I did while working on this piece,
the wonderful hit, made popular by Bobby Darin in the early 60s -
