I Wait For You
You'll soon be here
It's quiet now, all have gone
Last light
softens what was too bright before
the surf kicks a ball
as if to say
come play
with water teasing my toes
I wait here for you
one bird curiously inspects my wheels
tries to tear a worm away
The sky draws purple shawls
slowly waving in the evening wind
I still wait for you
In last fringes of light
I need to save myself
from floods rising fast
in my eyes
I give the ball back to the ocean
It's quiet now, all have gone
Last light
softens what was too bright before
the surf kicks a ball
as if to say
come play
with water teasing my toes
I wait here for you
one bird curiously inspects my wheels
tries to tear a worm away
The sky draws purple shawls
slowly waving in the evening wind
I still wait for you
In last fringes of light
I need to save myself
from floods rising fast
in my eyes
I give the ball back to the ocean

Sometimes we just have to let it go. Otherwise it takes us down with it. Stunning imagery here in your words and expression
