Trust placed carefully
upon his eloquent words
eminence of honor
suffused in my head
seized in my heart
Placid portrait
renewing raveled spirit
Uncertainty banished
from yesterday’s wall
Dancing in the mist
of ocean’s view
Tender strains of music
from his soul
latent in mine
Opening life’s portal...
Once again
Brevity in sweet voice’s call
Without warning...
Chilling winds of change
pound against the shore
distorted vision
of one I held so dear
Grappled embrace on
sordid canvas
swept in fiery ruin
silent shade kept hushed
trust shattered
He’s oblivious...
my echo unheard
I’ll run to the other side
Until the tide returns...
And breaks me once again
