I wandered all day at sea
Watching the turquoise waves strike the coral reefs
My mind and my soul were at peace;I let it be
Blazing sunshine and a gentle breeze
What was I seeking on a lonely beach
Pearl white sand dotted with tiny shells
Playful waves kissing the shore
With my hair and mind out to seek something
Was it love that I was after
Or a void that I was trying to fill
Was it the seamless union of the sky and the sea I sought
Painting a picture of the perfect pose?
The sea was deep so was my pause
Was there an answer that the sea didn’t know
Whatever it was, I wasn’t letting go
Dawn ripened to dusk, skies golden
A palette of colours burst through the clouds.
Strolling along the shore, I reflected
On what I was after
The water trembled in gentle quivers
Dazzling like tiny diamonds on the cobalt surface
I saw my answer,
Ruffled hair and confused eyes staring back at me
Against the tangerine skies on that blissful evening.
