To the Sea

She stands and waits
toward the sea
toward the sea
Looking for her true love
across the sea
across the sea
Gone for so very long
on the sea
on the sea

The light keeps shining
out to sea
out to sea
Guiding him home
from the sea
from the sea
A beacon of longing
over the sea
over the sea

Toward the sea he treads
slave to her every wish
Across the sea he sails
her magnetism unfailing
Gone to sea for ages
time an unknown to her whims
Out to sea he remains
captured by her fury
From the sea her waves claim him
that distant light fading
Over the sea her love she follows
into the sea they both shall go

  1. A very lyrical poem Ami. But I fear the ending is not a happy one. Thanks for joining in.
