Hearts in the Sand
Shimmering sunlight on the harbour
Sparkling like mischievous eyes
Laughter of seagulls, I think of your smile
Questions float on the wind and tide
Trees frame the places we used to walk together
Your footsteps are missing now
Life comes in waves, they just keep coming
We don’t get to ride them all
Lifetimes wash away like hearts drawn in the sand
You’re living in my memory
It’s gonna be alright
Lifetimes wash away like hearts drawn in the sand
You’re living in my memory
I’m gonna be alright
Sometimes we’re worn like stones on the beach
Rolling over and over and over again
Tides went on and on before us
They’ll go on and on after us
Lifetimes wash away like hearts drawn in the sand
You’re living in my memory
It’s gonna be alright
Lifetimes wash away like hearts drawn in the sand
You’re living in my memory
I’m gonna be alright

Excellent, k.
I especially like that line -- Lifetimes wash away like hearts drawn in the sand.
Great imagery throughout.

I agree it is good to support the monologue with scene description to grant it full dimensions, terrific emotional presence.

"Sometimes we’re worn like stones on the beach
Rolling over and over and over again
Tides went on and on before us
They’ll go on and on after us"
I liked the visual allure and metaphorical representation of this stanza.
Beautiful work.
