The sadness and classic beauty
of this poem, soufully haunts..thank you
for the share of a read! SuSanne
p.s. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!!

>By The Sea

>Once by the sea I knew her
>More than by name
>And quicksilver reveries;
>Elusive beauty, shimmering in the swale
>Of shapeless time.

>Her grace, her poise once etched
>In crystallized tears
>Are veiled and blurred
>Beyond the watery leagues
>Of a distance too far.

>At night by the sea I search
>The invisible horizons
>For fragments of yesterday's warmth
>To find only the cold ashes
>Of old devotions.

>Cradled by a fickle wind
>I climb a crumbling slope
>Unable to stand above myself,
>Unable to resist the numbness
>Of that futile climb.

>By the sea, I welcome sleep
>To come and whisper
>Of her to me,
>But sleep touches my brow
>And speaks not.
