Gazing Afar
He sits on a bench close to a line of cottages
halfway up the winding hill
staring out to sea
waves churning as the sun sets
splashing against rocks
soaking the sand
a lull that reminds him of nursery rhymes
and happier times
tomorrow’s a new day, he thinks
and wipes away a tear

Dear L,
Amidst the beautiful backdrop the melancholy of things gone by…this reminded me of a snippet of time in my own youth. Days I thought would last forever are sooooooo long ago now. Lovely write. H🌷

It's a wonderful poem, Lozzamus. In each of your poem, you concentrate on one point very deeply, which makes the reader live it and never forget it. I like the last two lines which complete the poem perfectly.
