Seashore Highway

I walked the seashore highway

Turbulence took my sandy hair

Around that desolate solace

I found something of familar air

Familar yet I couldn't explain

A new emotional wave crashing

Perhaps sunset's kiss cascading 

Or seaweed's tumbling thrashing

No, I have never walked here before

Among these starfish memories 

My footprint has not imprinted more

Than the shifting sand has evicted

Broken dreams that remind me

Of things I thought I left buried

Drowned sandcastles I dare not see

Your loving memory dancing

In deep shifting dunes of reality blown away

Reality that is now a wish on sand dollars

And this familar seashore highway
