Converging Diverging Timelines

In this moment…

I stand on this shore

searching the lonely waves

and clouds passing by,

looking for answers

and wondering why…

In this moment…

we stand together

on this wave-kissed shore

as ‘I love you’ echoes

in the ocean winds

from a time before…

In this moment…

we hold each other

on this timeless shore,

feeling waves of love

as ever changing clouds

sail silently above…

In this moment…

I stand alone on shore,

feeling something missing

somehow- all the while

watching you, a stranger,

passing with a smile…

In this moment…

you stand on this shore

searching the lonely waves

and clouds passing by,

looking for answers

and wondering why…
