By the Sea
I happened upon it there,
by the sea, on a forgotten shore
glittering with the brilliance of sunlight, subdued by waves.
Staring across the emptiness, I knew
the space would never again be
we would become one, in the symphony of the stars
Alas, all things must not contend,
with time whose savage trickery knows all
by the sea I found it, by the sea I lost it
