in searching for comfort
found was a warm blanket of love
wrapping around my heart
an offering of safety and security
halting all the fears
at the door of our home
our intense passion flowed both ways
gifting each other expressions of nourishment
and declarations of love with our minds and bodies
then…
the roaring waves became still
more like the ebb of ripples in a pond
lapping up against me
and like carved sand on a shoreline
the deep impressions left behind
slowly washed away
leaving only one set of footprints
Love it – despite the tinge of sadness…

Iove the last 3 stanzas, subtle and ended with the final line evoking sad emotion.
