*ABANDON*

Dawn's early light adorns the horizon as she
lends her warmth to the storm-ravaged sea.

Tempestuous waves of the fore-night, now tame,
roll their way to the shore, then in silence recede.

I stand alone with bare feet in the sand and seek
comfort from the cold ocean water's caress.

By turns, my troubles I cast to the surf and then
pray that this time they, too, will regress.

The salt of my skin meets the cool ocean spray;
they unite as warm tears stream down my face.

I walk away quickly, leaving behind sorrow and
my memories for the sea to erase.
